Until the police stop being criminals and start DOING the job we pay them to, this horror is going to carry on. It is also sad that families have no way to stop their kids from falling into the tsotsi role. Surely a system where parents can report their kids and get some kind of help to pull them straight would help to prevent this? Report Abuse

Mawu’s mother Thandi said her son had stolen a number of items from their shack in the last eight years.
“I think he started using drugs in 2004. He stole our TV, DVD and clothes... they found those people’s things in his room, so I can’t do anything.”

Thandi this should be a relieve case closed isnt that he also stole your number of items

I think this kind of msgs must be shown on tv as well, so people can know that, good citizens can get tired of being victimised for being good, paying taxes and stolen from by their fellow beings, have a rural home that has been broken into, it in not a nice feeling, we knew those days that neighbours will look after one another in rural areas, but those thing were of the 80's, before the police parants shoud do their duty, raise their sons well, if we had good family values, police work would be easy!

"Provincial police spokesman Andre Traut said no arrests had been made as yet." Do we really want the police to arrest a dead criminal? How heartless have we become as a society. Provincial police must not waste their resources trying to arrest exhausted citizens for the death of a known criminal. He was a pain to the society and now the pain is gone. The police must go looking for other criminals. There are plenty of them in Mzansi. Report Abuse

After hearing his mother's comments last night on etv, I understand that this boy was a problematic child, but again the manner in which he was killed was also inhuman, what went wrong in our society? Report Abuse
We signed up for the rule of law in 1994 not this rubbish where people simply pick a suspect and execute without trial! The steady collapse of the rule of law in our society spells serious danger. I would hate to live in a country where the dangerous are the law! Report Abuse

Heard the mother on tv saying that he got his just dessert (and the sister was also thrilled). The mother said that the community has done good by eliminating him as she longer had a home and now she be able to enjoy her house/home. She would often report him to SAPS when she found stolen goods in the house but we all know that SAPS is toothless.
@MommaC- She actually said on the news shewas releaved he is gone and that their have no photos of him their can live a peacefull life now. From the Mothers own mouth but she was in tears saying that Report Abuse

That is because you are not a mother. Hope springs eternal that things will change and a mother's love is not conditional
