Lungisa, a married father of seven children, is petitioning that he is not suited to the unpalatable food, uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, risk of violence and degrading ablution facilities that come with a prison sentence.

in Port Elizabeth, where he is serving a two-year sentence after being convicted of assault. This comes after a 2016 incident in which he smashed a glass water jug over a DA councilor's head during a heated council meeting.

Lungisa has filed an application to the Constitutional Court for leave to appeal against the sentence, and wants to be freed pending the outcome of the application.newspaper reported that The SCA found no basis to interfere with the sentence imposed by the trial court as it found the crime committed by Lungisa was serious and had devastating consequences.

Lungisa's ANC membership has been suspended, in line with the ANC national executive committee's stance that anyone with a conviction should resign for the sake of the party.

This brother thinks he's special cause we voted him to power! He just needs to serve the time like everyone else.

Ah....SHEM!

Well, he better start getting suited and how many children you have has no bearing on your sentence, the crime does. Maybe he is unhappy that they only have plastic jugs in prison.

He did the crime now he must the time....stop wining Lungisa, you are not that special.

I m not a great fan of Andile Lungisa, neither do I care about who he is , or which faction is he in African National Criminals, but what I do know is that his sentencing is just too harsh for what I saw him do, and in that kind of situation. 😏

jail this bastard

But he is suited to hitting people over the head with jugs. Maybe he should try that in jail and see if his living conditions improve.

Qina Ndoda.

I hope they turn the little dweet down - big mouth and lots to say but when it comes down to it, doesn't accept that there are consequences for actions (probably because in the ANC and EFF there are no consequences for actions)

Others cope in jail...so can you!

Who told him that prison is like one of their meeting house in Saxonworld?

Well, next time he should think before acts. A man takes responsibility for his actions, not play coward like Lungisa.

So bail hearing takes fast routes and the crime related cases postponed indefinitely in SA?

7 kids, one wife?

Anyone who has more than 3 children should pay more tax !!! Why must I pay for you to over populate the planet!!!?

I don’t think he deserves jail time. But his utterances don’t help his cause. He has lost my support.

AngelaD63148545 A sign to all ANC untouchables to be aware and prepare,at least you have an inside cadre now who can prepare you for what's to come should the law takes it course.While you still in your positions try make the jail a safer place to live while you have connections while outside.

Oh my hat, what was he expecting... a kingsize bed with, duckdown duvet, five course meal? He should be used to violence, hence the reason he is in prison. On the bright side, he won't need condoms during his stay.

Now I understand why he can't buy yoghurt and apples, imagine buying a pack of 1kg apples with 7kids. But he can buy sweets man.

Always. A. Victim.

😂😂😂😂😂😂🙄😂😂😂😂😂 Suck it up criminal

😂😂😂 he is lying unprovoked, SA prisoners have TVs, Cellphones and Visitors, sponsored education and extra-mural activities 😂😂😂

So says all the other criminals.

Zoba strong....qina ndoda🤣🤣khethile khethile

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Shame

Ag shame.

He fucks too much and expects sympathy

27Lesetja He should have thought about that before hitting his colleague

He he our politians think they are kings and aloof

I’ve been avoiding asking this question but who are his lawyers konje?

He will be in a couple of years 😉

If you commit a crime, you must pay for it. Punishment is too lenient and that's why people are repeat offenders. Give out stricter punishment and people will think twice. This man must just enjoy his two years quietly.

Shem

Aag shem my heart bleeds for him......NOT Should've thought of his seven children, bed, unpalatable food before he pulled his famous jug trick. He had a choice, to do or not to do. Sorry chum, get over your discomforts use your time constructively.

Does he know that one can buy a condom at the garage? mrlungisa

Did he expect the Hilton ?

What a snow flake !

Jughead must stay in jail ... he need to learn ... his arrogance got him in jail

I wish all these criminals who think they can hold our country at ransom could end in jail one by one

😃😃😃😃

And our taxpayers are paying for his kids 🤮🤮

😂😂😂

Yambi. 7 kids are facing financial hardship/ruin because of his carelessness. Andile is a selfish and unrepentant thug.

7? How is that for Fucking your children into poverty?

Did he mention which sort of people he considers suited to the unpalatable food, uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, etc?

Yet he claimed to be revolutionary

Agg come on its just 2 years

It is called prison for a purpose, what did he expect?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤣

Shame guys, this boy is suffering

Dink voordat jy doen!

Shem

Shamepies

He's a criminal and must be treated as such, no double standards here. Want to see more of them going to prison for a change.

Very soon the likes of Zwane might join him

7? 😱

Tough shit. This little phukwit thinks he is untouchable. News for him. He will go down ...in ways he will not enjoy.

MosalaChalale Wa hlanya jail bird shouldnt hv comfortable life wena tsek

Lol nobody is suited for prison it’s called consequences of your actions! 😂

Tell them mrlungisa, tell them 😂😂😂😂

And who is?

Nice to be him shame

Suck it up buttercup.

He did the crime so he must do the time. Stop complaining like he's too good for jail. Cry baby misses his high roller lifestyle.

CoruscaKhaya Well you should have weighed up the odds, before lifting the jug. Happy living, you earned it.

Mtamerri I am no Law expert, but I really think his Lawyers are weak AF!!!

Those mother's are better off without looking for a jug.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lmao

🤣🤣🤣 what did he expect. The Hilton Hotel?

Uzobastrongo!

Didn't you take your jug with you,

Seven children? No wonder a shaba ka Nkomazi everyday , and continous heartburn might be the reason for aggression.

He is crazy he belongs in prison

I hated his arrest but when a seasoned politician who claim to be a voice of the poor voiceless start talking like this, i then wish for his arrest to fulfilled without parole. He's a political hypocrite. Who does he think deserve those conditions?

Unathi_Kwaza Shame, extend his stay, he will get use to it.

He is not better than any other father which is serving a sentence. He think he should be treated special.

Bad luck. Consequences for outrageous, violent behaviour.

7 children 🙅🙅🙆🙆🙆

The anc is so arrogant to say Lungisa is Not suited for jail conditions, who is suited for these conditions...are they saying jail is only for any other person except them (anc) ....wow what a statement , that’s why they are doing what they do best “looting/corruption “

DanniTwiet no one is suited for prison. that's the whole idea, Einstein.

Then he better tell his eff mates not to wage a war. He wouldn't survive in the bush eating 'unpalatable food' and where there's 'uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, risk of violence and degrading ablution facilities'.

AbutiJosef 7 , such a young, the amazi diet has to be good for you.

Unathi_Kwaza 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Its called PRISON for a reason. Toughen up princess

Unathi_Kwaza He is where thugs belong!

Seems like he was more active at home than in office!

no imagine what will happen when Zuma and his cronies will join him

No wonder he talks about revolution all the time . It must be war at home all day. I stand corrected if he hit all from the same shooting range 😂

sthembete There is no special treatment... Being a member of ANCYLhq MYANC does not make him special! The judge should dismiss his funny reasons. How ppl's father are subjected to that?

CoruscaKhaya PHAMBENE!

No caviar? No Karan Beef fillet steaks? No Johnny Walker Blue Label? No French Champagne? No Cuban Cigars? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

7 kids yoo, the guy is very busy

Now wondering what has he taught his children about respect, civil behavior and general good citizenship or was everything left to his wife to do.

7 children? Is this the guy mzwandileMasina called the young man?

mrlungisa has 7 children...so he confuses taking care of his 7 children as being 'revolutionary' 😂😂😂, la re re shwa neng re ikhutse maare😂😂😂😂

CoruscaKhaya Keep him in prison - his wife needs a break now

Nobody is suited to the 'unpalatable food, uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, risk of violence and degrading ablution facilities'. That's why most people avoid jail by NOT doing crimes and ripping off the very people who are paying your wages. Too late now Lungisa

If you can do the crime you can do the time MYANC criminal scum!

But those things he's mentioning are of his MYANC government, unless if we are in an animal farm here.

Eh remember to tell your comrade mrlungisa that he is a convicted violent criminal now... and that he must not forget to take his VASELINE to prison.... ok chief? VoetsekMalema

Nonsense !!!

CoruscaKhaya I have a prezy for the chap, how can I get it to him

It's not a HOTEL, it's called PRISON for a reason... Should stop annoying us... these ANC people 🚮

You do the crime? You do the time Lungisa has illusions of grandeur He is no body special - just another violent, aggressive, narcissist Please stop referring to him. Nobody is interested in his illusions.

Fact that he went to jail for Assault GBH he's a criminal same as other prisoners doing time for crime. SA democratic government doesn't jail its political foes like the apartheid government

CoruscaKhaya He will have enough time to write letters to the president.What a coward revolutionary.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

7kids? Wow

He shouldn’t be in jail, punishment fair enough, but jail? Al julle boere wat geraas maak, ek was saam julle by pubs en clubs 🤫 hou op kak praat! He’s a violent criminal my ass 😑

And what is Bianca saying...

CoruscaKhaya Father of 7? How old is he He's been busy mos.😂🤣😂 He needs to find a new hobby.

Anyone who's saying that he should not be in jail.... I will volunteer to smash u in the head will a jug full of water 💦.... N c if u will like it nna

CoruscaKhaya Is he the first ever married man, parent to be imprisoned? Surely there is way too many parents who have been arrested too, what should he be an exception?

CoruscaKhaya Should’ve thought about that before being a prick

So criminals need luxurious life inside also? 🤔

Thinking about the consequences off your actions never came to mind? That's the problem just there, you cant.

Kahle kahle who deserves to serve jail time if they commit crime or go against the law im real puzzled

Bt i m not happy with Andiles lawyer bafethu 🖐️

Which is kinda like the reason we avoid going to Jail in the first place.......

🤔imagine all us mortal souls finding ourselves a little foul of the law asking for absolution, because one is not suitably equipped for jail.

Oh! If these are your concerns why have you and your party not fix this problem for 26 years?

Can South Africa build better prisons so that those prisons are palatable to the opulent lives of politicians

7 kids😲😲😲 how old is he🤔🤔🤔🤔

Tell me who on earth is suited to the conditions in prison? Offenders had to habituate and adapt and what will stop mrlungisa from doing the same. People who have much higher living standard than Lungisa had to adapt.

He must serve his prison sentence and stop being a cry baby.There are people who are in jail for stealing sweets or cheese(shoplifters) without posing any form of violence.

Simple, if you can't do the time don't do the crime.

Yho, 7 kids!

Yessess, he is having seven kids!!! He sure knows what his dick are made for.

FFS, if anything, please keep him in jail, or else he'll just make more children!

Ffs it’s what you deserve

Let's ask Karen to speak to the manager shall we? We can't let our World famous Jugler have uncomfortable sleeping arrangements.

Shame ,Take it Like a Man

Ag shame ! Our hearts bleed for you!

Simza_396225 You can only be powerful to certain extend and every dog has it's day............. The law will humble you

Bail? He’s already convicted. Who the hell gets bail while waiting on an appeal. Must the law be applied differently for an entitled thug?

I am not in support of Lungisa but am concern on the grounds of petition and wonder if his legal team is setting him up by saying he is not fit for prison.

a married father of 7 hahahahhaha!! trying to play victim?

Seven children, and that’s only the ones he knows about! Little thug likes to do the crime but cries when he has to do the time.,

EFF Deputy Presindent manhandled a journalist & was not arrested & sentence 2years in jail!!!!! LUNGISA DESERVE SUSPENDED SENTENCE OR COMMUNITY SERVICE SENTENCE BECAUSE HE IS NOT A DANGEROUS CRIMINAL OR DANGER TO SOCIETY!!!!!

I believe that Lungisa is a danger to society &derseve community service sentence!!! Dangerous criminals who danger to society with criminal records get bail & suspended sentences or community service!!! LUNGISA DESERVE SUSPENDED SENTENCE & COMMUNITY SERVICE!!!!!

But isn't he a fearless ground force EFF fighter? Or are they only fearless against shampoo bottles and trashcans?

Maybe he should of thought of that before assaulting someone. Jail is not meant to be “nice,pleasant,holiday “.

Can you imagine the PAC political prisoners who don't even know what the so called democracy is. He is like other citizens in this country. Nothing special about him.

No one is SUITED for prison...That is the idea....

I thought at 4 I was maxed out. Did they say 7? Revolutionaries know how to.

He expected the Holiday Inn? Now even worse is the fact that the majority living in shacks are accustomed to even worse conditions.

Mfano ke manyoba mos!!!😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

Nd who is? Mr mrlungisa please inform us....the juggler must tell us🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Where do people get time to make seven kids.

🤣🤣🤣Get use to it!!!

Imagine Zuma 's excuse....🤭

All prisoners should petition to be released cos they ar not suitable for degrading ablution facilities,uncomfortable sleeping arrangements ,risk of violence dat come with a prison sentence

His complaining about the very same prison conditions his comrades deem fit for the masses they so love and have compassion for...

Mare where does his seven children get into the picture? Anyway Lungisa, thats not a hotel, its a Prison its not meant to be comfortable.

LibertarianZA Then do not break the law.

He should have thought about those things before he flexed his muscles.

What an appalling little turd!

How many children does the assault victim have? The victim was probably not used to unpalatable hospital food either. Degrading ablution facilities? It's a clear picture of what many people have to live with in SA while ANC/EFF spend all their energy on anger and fashion. :(

But he was suited to committing a violent act when he assaulted a person ?

Men should not be having that many kids these days

7 children S Courts should have ordered him to have a vasectomy as well!!

Interested in a lucrative business called Crypto trading? Dm me now!! Start making R20,000-R40,000 profits every week with your mobile phone.

🤣🤣🤣

My heart pumps custard for him. If he doesn’t like jail perhaps he will think twice next time before picking up a water jug to break over someone’s head!

Get used to it. Behave like a criminal, get treated like a criminal. Some lessons are hard.

The jaild are bad cos of ANC.kind of tasting own medication

ANC old furniture (Ramaphosa leadership ) made a big mistake by allowing Lungisa to go to jail they have restored the agenda of those who lost at congress to come back via back door to reclaim their power I won't be surprised if Zuma goes to jail to visit Lungisa

Let the bastard rot ! You do the crime, you do the time ! That Tsotsi thinks he is above the law, TSEK

Nkanyiso_ngqulu Of all pictures you have of Lungisa did you have to dig for this one

😂

If you don't want to do time, don't do crime bottom n klaar.

7?

Must be nice😂

It’s called prison you fool , that’s the price you pay when you act irresponsibly. Maybe that will detract others from been stupid

Father of seven?At Pollsmoor prison you would be a married mother too

Tell that man.. That's prison.. It's supposed to be nice.. He must pay his do's.... in full.. Just like other kids in there with him... 'No such thing as a halfway crook..' - MobbDeep

There was man that did 27yrs under worser and more torturous conditions

LOL then all men in prison should lodge a petition if this is the case

Hola 7!!!! Kids🤣🤣🤣

his victim was not suited to assault with multiple lacerations, bleeding and stitches..

only those who are shortsighted will call for andiles arrest,I'm not an anc but I support you brother man

Actions have consequences, He is just a thug in an ANCovid 19 looter T-Shirt, watch the video, premeditation = [the action of planning something (especially a crime) beforehand; intent.] at best, he fetched the jug, hide it, wait for the moment, and broke on someone’s head

*SMUG

Shem

Ag shem poor guilty, violent, man.

Shame - You do The Crime pay The Time. I as a South African am not suited to the Crime and Lotting These Government agents have forced on us! Put him and the rest of them to hard Labour!

All 7 fruits of his loins? Ayi yindoda emadodeni le! FreeAndileLungisa

What? 🤣

P$$y.
