Cekeshe, is in jail after pleading guilty to - and being convicted of - malicious damage to property charges when he helped set a police van on fire during free-education protests.
He applied for leave to appeal against his 2017 conviction but this was denied in the Johannesburg magistrate's court on Monday.Lamola told parliament's justice and correctional services that he was willing to help students who were involved in the protests. However, in Cekeshe's case, he might not be able to help for a while yet.
"I made it clear there is no blanket amnesty. Everyone must apply. We made the same offer to Kanya Cekeshe. He has since applied for leave to appeal, so any presidential pardon application cannot happen at this stage. We remain available to assist any of the Fees Must Fall protesters," he said.
pecial focus would also be given to cases of sexual violence, domestic violence and the emerging threat of cybercrimes."These planned improvements must be welcomed. Anything that will make it easier for South Africans to access justice must be applauded. We note the plans on sexual offences, domestic violence and femicide. This is critical as South Africans want to see improvements regarding this matter urgently," he said.
I thought lmaola stand for „laughing my ass off“ is this that guy who keeps the wife (who watches her husband raping a related child) free ?
This is what happens when you have incompetent ANC cadres in TOP Gov positions. Little knowledge of the ethics of his position as a Gov Min for ALL, it's all about the party. What then is the use of the courts and judges when their sentences can be overturned by the Minister?
Dats ANC 4 u,full of promises but no action😳😳
I wish our youth would stop seeking attention in a wrong place, why exactly did he burn police van?
In political terms the idiot is now informed that he cannot arrange a presidential pardon for a criminal. The level of absense of common sense thinking among cabinet ministers are astounding.
Let him feel the heat of burning goverment car.
We want him out
U_turn
Good
RonaldLamola obviously spoke first and thought later....oh but then again that is one of the characteristic flaws of politicians...😏
Look at the words 'just yet' because that mean he will do it and will help him just as we forget about this. Watch this space
Lamola is dumb
Tony yengni ,Shabir shake , off course he will come out.
He thinks Khanya's life is for sale as he did at Nasrec.
Lmk! This was a hoax.. Btw.. Who gets a presidential pardon when you are appealing the conviction and sentence.. 😬
