How is the fact that she is pregnant relevant to the story?

Mokoka must rot in jail just like everyone else who thinks their uniform elevates them to a status where they can do as they please with the powers vested on them.

@ Dzel

well fact is she is pregnant, and she is in no way ready to become a mother. the father is either dead or irresponsible. so in 15 years time or so we most probaly have another disfunctional child or another Thato who would probalbly meet the same fate as this one.

Since he admitted to shooting him, its an open and shut case. No one defends themselves by shooting their adversary 7 times
