justicemalala So many bitcon traders on Twitter are trickster linda_Stouffe thank you for opening my eyes to their ways now I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to help others more blessings to your family

Its all about the SKIN COLOR….

Bring the Death Penalty back for these Vermin

All because they are white and black life don't matter

Where are the clever blacks who's been busy telling us no one is above the law, the Democratic constitution should be respected.

They didn't didn't beat them as your headline says, they killed them

This is fuckedup ....injustice at it purest form

Our_DA afriforum wozani la with your fake outrage

Other criminals go free for murder, rape, home invasions, so what's new?

When you are more upset about Pres Zuma's release than you are about this, your racism is showing.

Suspended sentences for murder?

We are all equally but some are more equal than others, Whites in this case. How can you get suspended sentence for deliberate killing someone?

Thats why i believe in an eye for an eye.

The families of the deceased should not take that R20 000 compensation from these murderers, its an insult. Instead the farms of these murderers should all be expropiated without compensation and given to the families and children of these man that they killed.

You see why the ordinary people take the law into their hands and say we have no faith and have lost confidence in the judiciary. Black lives matter! These are the small embers that catalyze into an inferno. How can there be peace when this kind of scum is what has come?

White have right to kill in this country

So in South Africa you can beat people to death and essentially get off scot free? It's true. There IS a twilight zone.

We are still under apartheid

It's not white privilege, it's criminal privilege. Yesterday a rapist and attempted murder got Bail, zuma has been released without medical illness, every other day criminals are released.

Miscarriage of justice

😡😡😡 The NPA should appeal against this ridiculous sentence, like they did in the Oscar Pistorius case. On the face of it, it just does not seem right.

afriforum come this side

OCJ_RSA how is it possible that people can get suspended sentence for killing another person

NdileGiyama White law

Where is the Our_DA to challenge their sentence?

Brazen, by Judge Corne Van Zyl. Audacious to say the least. Condolences to the families & loved ones of the deceased.💔 Here's something for you to ignore and be completely silent on RediTlhabi & ThuliMadonsela3 as in your world such news are inconspicuous.

White privilege. Talk of getting away with murder. Some people say apartheid is dead.

Then the DA and AFRO FORUM as stupid questions about Zuma getting a medical palore since he is a native,white life matters than as natives. If we sing the Kill the Boer song we're in shit.

Wow white supremacy 👏👏👏

Where's Our_DA and afriforum they only concentrate to Mr Zuma case

😅🤣😂 where are the Thumaminions they are busy worried about a pensioner who is 80yrs old and got medical parole 🤦🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️

Suspended sentences for MURDER? Only if we had our own Afriforum as black people to prosecute these MURDERERS privately because clearly this government doesn’t give a **** about us!

This is a shocking sentence, NPA must appeal this nonsense!

Heeeee afriforum can you assist the family of the deceased here honestly justice must be served irrespective of the race😂😂😂😂

This is B.S... they must pay for their crimes.!

Wow what a lil slap on the hand while family members of the deceased lost loved ones. Guess their lives don't matter since they were sons of the soil

EFFSouthAfrica

🤣😂🤣 when we tell you stop supporting farm murder campaign you will be telling us blah blah. You see why their lives doesn't matter to me

It wil end in tears 😢...... that song used to be sing by the past ANC politician..... Let the NPA appeal the case, this must be direct imprisonment

Slap on the wrist, that's what this is and the DA or Afri-Forum will say nothing about it. If at all they would call this justice🤮

😂😂😂black forums is a must to defend the black

The blood of the black person worth nothing

There is no justice and fairness for poor black man,,,, R20 000 compensation for one's live.

White murderers given suspended sentences for killing a black man ! Black lives still matter not even under a black regime !

The wages of whiteness.

'I placed Zuma on medical parole': prisons boss Arthur FraserCorrectional services commissioner Arthur Fraser confirmed during an SABC interview that the medical parole advisory board did not recommend former president Jacob Zuma's release - but that he overruled it. I am shocked any one else, Mr New-dawn? Zondo didnt call in Arthur Fraser to come testify at the Commission despite Fraser having been implicated by Sydney Mafumadi, Loyiso Jafta, Ms Kay and accused of signing Millions to Africa New Agency. He was denied a chance to state his side of the story MYANC cadres So brazen now they don’t even try cover up and lie anymore. They know there are no consequences. VoetsekANC
