So Themba finally figured out that JubJub is intent on hanging him out to dry.
This dual justice system we have is damn hindering awkward. If it had been Sipo Nobody, he would be concentrating on trying not to drop the soap by now

If Jub Jub and his co-accused had admitted that they are guilt from the first place maybe by now they would be finishing their terms in jail.
Magistrate is too lenient on these two bastards,they were supposed to have been locked long time ago.

@Dadaman. I agree with you that they were not travelling at 60km/h especially that more than four pupils were hit. But at pull-off 60km/h is more dangerous. If you don't trust me get into a powerful vehicle and take off at high speed.

It seems JJ is lying and the court will be lenient to Tshabalala who admitted to hitting these kids. His evidence collaborates the with the evidence from the point of impact on both vehicles.

The case is won on facts, if you compare the confessions of the two Jubjub has the upper hand. For Tshabalala to admit quilt he is trying to hoodwink the court to be compassionate get a lighter sentence. The case is more between the two than those who died.

racing at 60km per our, that is not racing is normal driving, you were tipsy and did not see the speed, there is no way a car trvelling at 60km can be damaged the way your vehicle looked after the accident, I disagree, you guys were flying.

This case needs to be concluded fast, for the sake of the children who died because of these guys' carelessness. and the families also need closure to this nightmare, how will they heal if this keeps showing in they're faces. Justice must be done and not delayed.

Had Jub Jub showed some remorse for what he did,the magistrate would have been accommodating,but instead he keeps telling edited versions of the truth.Now Tshabalala might get a lenient sentence,because he is being a man enough to admit his part in this horrific accident.Jub Jub,bye bye to your career.

hhhmmm!!!! there is an element of contradiction here: "Maarohanye and Tshabalala were allegedly racing their Mini Coopers when they crashed into a group of school children along Mdlalose Street in Protea North on March 8 2010."................"I was driving at 60km/h.. I was not drunk or tipsy," he replied"..............................."After overtaking Molemo's [Maarohanye's] car we drove for a few seconds and that's when the accident happened," he said

can you overtake at a speed of 60km/h and call it "RACING"? can an accident of this nature caused by 60km/h speed? Themba is not telling the truth

Driving at 60 and hit those kids like that??? There is no way that one can drag race at 60, which means jub jub's car was driving behind you at 50 then over took your car at about 70. These trial is full of lies

The car which hit them kids cannot be the only liable factor because it was also hit from the right back in order to cause this fatal accident.

JubJub will walk free from this saga. 1) His car was on the left(correct) side of the road, 2) His car, it would seem, did not cause any of the deaths, 3) Tshabalala has just confirmed that he had had a drink and was driving on the wrong side of the road.

Bye-bye MSHENGU. See you after a good 10 - 15 yrs.
