SA law requires serious amendment. Law institutions are still practicing laws based on the legacy of Apartheid. Change the law and everything will over time fall into place....
Sunflower murders are doing less that 10 years. Cables are more valuable than a black child life. Sies justice system. Theres nothing to celebrate
And now we pay for their accommodation and food...
And those who stole money from Eskom get to walk free 😒
