Limpopo police found the body of 27-year-old musician Thoriso Themane in the early hours of Sunday morning. calling for the minors implicated in the killing of Thoriso Themane to serve time in jail has added fuel to the already raging debate on social media about the tragedy."We want Justice for Thoriso. We want the boy who killed him to get arrested and serve his time in jail," it says.
The petition was aimed at getting 25,000 signatures and had by 10.30am on Wednesday almost reached the target. The death of 27-year-old Themane made headlines on Tuesday, with allegations he was killed by a group of school children who filmed his murder. Amid the #JusticeForThoriso posts which trended on Twitter from Tuesday were two videos depicting what seems to be Themane's last moments alive.
One of the videos show what seems like a bloodied and unresponsive Themane lying on the ground as he is still being kicked in the face by a group of unidentified people.MORE
I dont want jail time but death penalty
Petition aside, justice must be served
Count mine too,jail is where these thugs belong
Are laws no longer enough?
The way it looks where this is going it doesnt seem like no one will be serving a murder sentencing. According to the father of the victim he seems to stand with the murderers 'they are only kids they didn't know what they were doing'. 🙄 it infuriates me honestly
Petition should demand death penalty.
Petition Side, justice should just prevail here

Once a murderer always a murderer. Their parents should also be investigated and held accountable If they are minors but thought of killing a man who's 27 and they are teens , surely they'll have to be arrested and not granted bail! What they did they took an innocent soul and they seem not shaken by the incident they have done ! Phansi with violence

Son of retired cop confesses to kicking Thoriso Themane ‘several times’His father claims Themane was 'already bleeding' when his son and his friends joined in the attack. The ‘untouchable part’ must be fully investigated. I recommend that the minister of police be fully involved in this untouchable part. What is it that makes him untouchable. The untouchable may mean that he’s involved in some corrupt activities and people can not report him.
