Shame looking at this picture he seems like a nice guy who acted out of anger, pity he cannot bring him back and he has to be in jail for killing him. Only if people can know how to manage their anger cause lots of bad things are happening because of their anger problem.

You see the things that we do when we are angry,he is going to regret it for the rest of his life,in fact his life is over.The lesson to everyone is learn to control your anger before you regret it and stop boasting to people that"you see me i get angry very quickly" as if being angry is a badge of honour,stop that because one day you will live to regret it.

I just wonder how their parents feel about this, especially the mother. She must be torn apart to think her own son murdered his own lil brother. Something might have gone wrong in the cleansing ceremony, they probably angered some ancestor.

Sad how many people think being angry is an excuse for the so many things they do. Anger is a state of the mind and it can be controlled. Wish people learned the art of walking away when they are angry as we would indeed avoid the violence and the wrong words that are spoken.

This news should serve as advice to fortunate home mates who happened to be employed. When you are employed you should be careful not to take unemployed for granted and consider them not people enough. Now our fellow brother has to face murder charges under the toughest schedule of the law due to R200 equivalent to price of 1 red label if not half. Being a bread winner does not connote that you own the life of your fellow homemates and you can theretofore ki.ll them as you wish. Some people make living difficult for their parents. Now the parents has to lose two assistants simultaneously due to small brain of the employed fool. LET HIM FACE ALL THE MIGHT OF LAW.

Anger is all he can say...i still strongly believe there are so many people who are incarcerated 2day simple because they acted out of anger. He asks for a bail so he can go and arrange for the funeral because he is a bread winner, to me that's nuisance. if he says he's going to bring his brother back i would say let the magistrate grant him bail but he wont bring him back.....'Anger'

i think the pressures of him being the only breadwinner at home was too much for the guy. the de@d guy' le ena should have not misused the money he did not even work for. im not saying that is an excuse for k!lling the man but i think i get where his head was at during that ordeal. as for every action there are consequences and he has to pay for that.

Anger is one of the sinners of the soul. Pity your bro has passed on. I hope they give you a suspended so that you can take care of your siblings. We all deserve a second chance and it was not intentional or premaditated.

@ least you gave yourself to the police upon realising crime you committed,I feel sorry for you cause the murdering of your own flesh and blood will be a cloud of your head for as logn s you live. But shem the judge is right you are considered highly dangerous, as such you need to be kept behind bars till at the very least your bail application is rendered,

I feel sorry for your parents, cause this must the hardest time in their lives losing 2 sons at the same time.
