Johan Steyn, 38, appeared in Stellenbosch Magistrate's Court on an attempted murder charge after a video of a white bakkie driving over a security guard in Stellenbosch went viral on social media.
Steyn, from Kraaifontein, handed himself over to the police this week, and in a seven-page affidavit told the court his health was at risk in the cells. "My incarceration has placed severe emotional strain on myself as well as my family. The conditions in the cells are of a very bad nature and I fear I will contract other diseases and viruses should I not be released from custody."
Well hell. Sorry to hear about your crap. You gonna go back there for a lot longer.
Must be nice...
Selfish prick! You made a decision, you face the consequences. What about the emotional, physical and financial strain of the victim and his family? For all we know, the victim is a breadwinner to more than 1 household! Bail should have been refused!
Lock him up! His actions put him there
Prison can't be equated to home away from away, not even to a small town motel. It is prison and must come with its own horrors.
This animal must just rot in jail. He deserves to live with the other animals in jail and not humans
He should never have been given bail.....how do you willingly drive over a fellow human being? This justice system is pathetic. Let's all go picket outside his house.
Sometimes I wish the death penalty still existed in SA.
What about the strain on the person who he rode over - could have killed or maimed an only breadwinner and has prevented him from earning while he is injured without medical cover
That magistrate though! I'm appalled.
Madness, he clearly thinks he is superior and his life matters the most than the parking guard's life. He must be locked society does not need his kind.
What?! The pos walks?
Mxm
This man belongs in Prison, how awful he is out on bail!! Where is Justice? Most of the time the Guilty win and the victim suffer. No Justice in South Africa
Wow and who gets to support the guard's family 🤔
O nale liver this guy! Nxl.
full story here with video
SpheDludla Please don't hate his lawyer, he is just doing his job. Blame the Roman-Ducth law
What a cheek ! Should have thought of that before you drove over that guy !
This one doesn’t get what he did. I said one coz I don’t want to say clown or something else.
Cape Town Stellenbosch White What did you expect from the home of racism and white supremely.
SpheDludla 🤔🤔🤔🤔 He deliberately drove over a person. What exactly did he expect? Unbelievable!!
You find a good lawyer or you have loads of money, jail is like swiiming till the middle of the Ocean, irrespective how bad what you did is. Sad
We need a judge to make an example of one of these beneficiaries of black oppression
The judge here needs to be looked at carefully and thoroughly...and struck off the roll...or whatever association judges are part of. This is a miscarriage of justice. And it can't be called a mistake.
Can you tell us how the guard is doing rather. Not interested in hearing about this jail Baird
Yaz one day we gonna have to talk about how useless public prosecutors are. Ko gore being a victim in satafrika is an extreme sport cos you might wake up and you're given a useless prosecutor to represent you, n you have absolutely no say in anything
Sub-humans who wear K-way and Uzzi are dangerous AF
He must wait until the inmates take it raw mf
What bullshit!! Why does he get special treatment?!
You don't deserve to be free ever again! Good luck proving your 'insanity'.
It must be nice being him... ke boss
Why I'm I not surprised, hope the guard is okay
Hows the poor injured man doing? 💔
A white man🙈
Yeyi ra nyelwa hle, tjesses.
Bitch whaaaat?! 😠 Wow 🤦🏽♀️
Suge Knight
It's really so sad when us as human beings completely disregard other people's lives and when our own loves are suddenly not so confortable we start crying 😭😭
This victim mentality is overplayed!!! You should never have been given bail. You are an arrogant person who drove over another human being.... and you drove away as if you just rode over scrap in the road. You have no values, no morals and you lack respect for others !!!
Did the prosecutor oppose bail?
Let’s look at it around, Blackman drove over a whiteman and that black man is out on bail complaining about conditions inside the SAn jails🙄privilage
Wow. Thats what happens to everyone in jail. Hellllooooooo. What in the privilege is happening
He should have thought of that before driving over someone and trying to kill them. I hope he catches something nasty whilst in custody. Bloody dammit
Lol its called prison mate , pretty normal
I think the punishment should fit the crime. Let the injured car guard ride over this scumbag with a bulldozer and then stop and check if he is Ok 👌 after all that would be more than the car guard got
Our poor justice system again..
It’s nice when you have money and commit a crime, you just complain and receive bail where the rest of us would rot in jail
Some people though
Can you also report back on the condition of the guard, please? THAT'S more important.
Mara he's the one with a desease mos
The purpose of bail (or not) is to ensure he arrives at court to stand trial. Then after conviction he will be punished. The bail process is not intended to now already punish him.
He is going this one, you are going to be someone chick in jail
As for contracting other viruses. Wow
Sounds about WHITE😔😒😒😒.. and the magistrate agreed and allowed bail... we are respected la eMzansi I swear
Wow our Justice system can't be trusted, the poor guard could have died
What an evil man.
‘Moipolai ga a llelwe...’
Heartless monster, he deserves to rot in jail!
Ya neh
White privilege
I bet the judge was black
White privilege
Come on now. R2000 bail..!!, should've been 10 000 bail or stay in jail...!!😑. What kind of a Magistrate and Public Prosecutor are these..?😑 The system keeps on failing us. It's sad.
Kak man he comes with all that emotional crap about his wife, employees and 1st time offender...he did not steal sweets in a shop,he ran a man over and nearly KILLED HIM
You should have thought about that before committing such a heinous crime
Wow
Gat bad. Fok hier met TB en jy't amper 'n man gevrek. Tsek.
Monnawamotho Wtf!!! This guy thinks he's special neh.. he must be locked in a room full bees
Being run over by a vark is 'very bad conditions'.
You didn't think about being incarcerated in a filthy cell when you ran over a human being. Tsek
Thats 'White Privilege' for you😏 I'm so mad rn, the Stellenbosch government has always favoured these white trashes!! I'm from Stellies and I know this✋🙄
Bail was granted considering that he handed himself in but either way he is getting convicted. Selfish.
That was no a five star hotel,if I may remind you
K53 will convict him
He must get what is coming to him ...
I blame the court for giving him bail.... with that much visuel evidance, how the hell is it even possible to make such a decision?
U should have thought about ur bloody family before attempting to kill the guy
What about the victim family did the court consider them before giving u bail
Does he even get what he did? Does he understand that he drove over a fellow human being and just drove away?
Serves him right..if he had used his brain well none of that could be happening..you made your bed now f*ing lie on it
What did he think would happen vele?
Should have thought about that before acting like an idiot! You are made from the same cloth as BLF, ACM 'leaders'. There simply is no place for 0%ers like you in our society.
What you did was wrong.
Ma se poes.. this shames oir legal system and if it was the otherway around ..he the poor guard would be sentenced by now..plus stellenbosch itself its dutch persons so you wont stand a chance
Kaak
Must be nice😂
Another case which will be of interest👇👇
You don’t know what “emotional strain” even is!!!! Guy what you did to that car gaurd is emotional strain! You deserve to be in jail, you sick excuse of a human
He doesn't deserve to granted bail.. I cannot imagine the pain of being driven over like that
5467dieweg Listen, you can't just run these oaks over.. I know most of us would like to, but we can't..
So why did he do it then? What about the Guards family.
We will never succed in building a better South Africa for all as long as such people exist in society.
I am moving to Georgia, can't handle this
My interest is the state of the security guard that he drove over.
Shame 🖕
getting illness while incarcerated should be part of the punitive actions from this savage act you did nje qha..nobubi! The judge decision means that the security is subhuman..he should endured being driven over by this 'special human being' who cannot b incarcerated..wow judge👊
Get used to it ... Do the crime .. do the time !!! How about some remorse ?
Nya nye nyi
Too late. He should have thought about this to avoid being an ssO
There is no justice for us in our land.
That's what superiority complex does, it makes a person think so highly of himself and has no respect for human life. He can commit an attempted murder, run off and then hand himself over and still plead not guilty. Wait till an offer to settle out of court presents itself.
YOH 😭I'm so mad
Some people are just on their own planet. He drives over a person and he is not guilty? Emotional stress Did he enquire about the well being of the person he drove over and didn't stop. Lock him away and throw away the keys. He is inhuman and arrogant.
I wonder how's the victim doing shame
The victim is languishing in pain in hospital and you are complaining about a pain free few hours in jail! Justice is sometimes unfair!
Sounds like a Schabir Shaik who took refuge in the Jails sick room - was released because he was dying & but soon became very healthy.
He got only one round n he's crying... He deserve to be the part of inmates for 25 years.
Sunanoko!
nonsense
SHAME!
Hell has just begun is a bottomless pit of emotions and regrets. The guilt not pleaded in court is a temporary escape.
Hi hola ka privileges ke nonsense shem.
Waiting for piece of shit like this to do same unto my family member then will show y'all real meaning of justice. He can't be let out while pure evidence is present. 😠😠
I would advise that he gets all his vaccines up to date.
You reap what you sow🤓
there is video!!!! this guy should be straight into jail!!! no bail nothing..
Bongani_SP A bit too late to think about the cell conditions
So the person he ran over is irrelevant? Him catching diseases is more important?
He doesn’t souls like he knows he didn’t something wrong
So why didn’t he think about all these diseases before he drove over this guy?
Have they not said anything yet about 30 days Mental evaluation 🤔
You deliberately knocked another person over, drove over him and casually drove off. No regard for his life. I am sorry I have no sympathy.
He is white bail will be granted, his reasons are not convincing, what about what he did. so meaning i can just drive over a person and then cry when i got arrested our justice system has colour.
How can u do that to other human being. Then u complain of conditions in the cells,u think of being better than same person u nearly kill. Egocentric bustard.
Sleg bliksem. Jail is where u belong.
Pappa wag vir jou
Kangaroo courts would do fine for mzansi. His concern abt his health and his family, what about the security's family?
Awe shame . Then u shouldnt have tried to murder someone go back to jail
Just plead guilty and start serving your sentence immediately then prolonging misery for you , family and the victim. Evidence against u is overwhelming..!
Shocking
Vele in this country you can getaway with murder...kusemadlwaneni ukhishelwa ukuth ayemqedelela umuntu wabantu He should have thought of this rubbish before egibela phezu komuntu.
Then don’t run over innocent people doing their jobs you idiot. I have no sympathy for you.
Did he think he was on vacation? Prison is for criminals like him. He doesn't even deserve bail.
If there’s visual evidence of a heinous crime, surely bail should be denied and a guilty verdict & sentence be given- all within 1 calendar month😑
Should have thought about that before you resorted to parking rage.
Just like that? So him knocking the guard over, didn’t it put emotional strain on the guard’s family? And the guard himself? How did the guard’s family survive when he was in hospital? Wow. Talk about white privilege. I guess the judge is white too.
Pleading not guilty He has no chance, he must enjoy prison. You can’t just ride over someone!!!!
Now that we know His race watch Him plead mental illness or some rubbish story about depression and medication.
He should rot in hell
Did the prosecutor even opposed the bail mara? 😠😠😠😠
This makes me sooooo mad... Such a privileged asshole... And he really was granted bail on those basis Did the security guard derseve health issues when he ran him over... How is he earning his livelihood when he suffering from injuries, how is it affecting his family?
Imagine!! What did he think was gonna happen 🤷🤷
This is bad. He must go to jail. His humanity & morals are very bad
Daai kont moes nooit bail kry nie magoe wat jy is, hope he gets moered in the streets 😡😡😡
Haa wena na Mr special treatment.
He is far from remorseful talking about himself what about the victim
Hhe madoda the privileges people are born with.
gee, maybe don't run people over then, if you don't want to be in jail? Just a thought.
