Blame it on the African legal system taken over by roman Dutch law, if what they call kangaroo courts still existed, non of this monsters could still be found in our communities. All would be rapists, murderes, and lazy bones not wanting to work for a living could have been 7feet under ground NOW

@MommaC

it was either the police were still looking for him ( while the community found him) or they were still investigating the other charges ( and because of that the other 19 yr old was put in harms way)

my take with regards to kangaroo courts is that though they are not the best option we have very few other options. our police system does not work, our justice system also does not work and in a few cases where they do the president will grant them amnesty or we will be told the jails are full therefore they wil be parolled and come back and terorise us some more. in this case this guy is dead no chance of him bothering us again.

It frustrates me that our police wait until someone has about 50 cases to answer for before they get them off the streets. Then the challenge is to prevent them from 'escaping' or the docket getting 'lost'. No wonder communities get desperate enough to take matters into their own hands. If that had been my daughter, I'd have been first in line to throw stones

Now the justice cluster has been saved a great deal of expenditure.
LoL@lidodaduvha11
They sure must have counted the number of stones that were found in the vicinity. We are a democratic nation that lives vy the motto: one attacker, one stone. They turned all the stones and found 150 sets of finger prints. The whole saga adds a new meaning to the phrase: "Lethabile rocks."

Yeah

this how it should be done. No wasting of tax payers money and time by going around in circles with dockets going missing and all sorts of nonsence our justice system does so well to delay.

Just dish out the justice kasi-style.
