As much as this is so hurtful and sensitive, Ramaphosa is lawyer by profession and the very law that gave the perpetrator a bail is the law that he himself as a participant in drafting constitution said yes to it. Its time constitutional amendment is discussed.

There are many many things in this country that should never ever have happened. Wake up Mr President before the peple of SA are finished

As far as i am concerned, anyone who ever voted ANC is an accomplice to each & every crime committed in South Africa and these voters have no right to complain about crime at all!

He's a taradiddle, why can't he change the constitution and bring back the death penalty ☠️😱😠
