I am appalled by the way the South African justice system is criminalising young Kabelo Thibedi.

I sympathise with the white woman he held hostage. At the same time, I cannot understand what lesson the justice system is giving to this young man.

I can relate to the plight of this young man because I have been waiting for more than two years to get my ID.
