10 years for killing his teacher

The second factor Malane considered was that there was the likelihood that the teenager was part of a gang.

"It turned out that you had fresh tattoos on your legs; you also said you were told that if you tattooed your legs you will be protected, but you did not say whether you were part of a gang or not," Malane said. The last factor was that the crime was planned and premeditated. "Life has been lost. The victim was a teacher and a bread winner; he chose a career which was a calling but it ended his life. You trampled on his rights; his family will live without him for the rest of their lives," the magistrate said as she explained why she could not impose section 76 of the Child Justice Act which states that the sentence must not be more than five years.

The teen's motives for the attack as detailed in a pre-sentencing report revealed that he had felt aggrieved that the teacher did not instruct other pupils to also cut short their hair.

I wonder what mitigating factors did they bring.The fact that he was a teacher with authority over this delinquent and for him to undermine it and to top it all bring a knife to school, he should have at least been given a 15year minimum .These are aggravating circumstances.

That's too lenient for a murderer! murder 10years damn tto short!

Just 10 years of which he will serve less than 5 & no outcry from politicians & noise makers from social media? I guess even blacks don't care about their own

I guess if the victim was either white or female there would have been an outcry like it happened with Oscar Pretorius case, but since we live in a racial and gender polarised country. The sentence is suitable, no big deal.

he should have been given the maximum 15 of 15 yrs

What a disgrace 10 years

And he'll stay for 3-4 years and get parole...mxm

just that

Only? 😳😳😳
