Phindile Nxumalo: “Yes, families are without breadwinners due to crime committed by heartless individuals. These criminals no longer care about the consequences of their actions. Our justice system has too many loopholes in it. Murderers and rapists are being granted bail each and every day.”

Should Capital punishment be reintroduced in South Africa?

Phindile Nxumalo: “Yes, families are without breadwinners due to crime committed by heartless individuals. These criminals no longer care about the consequences of their actions. Our justice system has too many loopholes in it. Murderers and rapists are being granted bail each and every day.”

Fanie Maarman: “We are in a democratic country. We ought to have faith in the justice system. Death penalty won’t work. It will only bring more chaos to our society.”

Magic Sekgela: “At times people act out of anger not necessarily with intentions to hurt other people. I think prison is the best option as it provides an opportunity for rehabilitation.”

Pule Mapota: “Currently our justice system is very weak and not firm enough. I think government should reintroduce Capital punishment. A person is arrested today for murder then tomorrow they are out.”

Themba Phokane: “Death penalty is a crime on its own because no one has the right to kill another person.”

Pau Nhlapo: “It must be definitely be brought back because crime has increased, women and children abuse are on the rise. Criminals no longer have a conscious and they know that. South Africa is in a shambles at the moment hence we need firm laws to deal with our crime issues.”

Thandekile Mazibuko: “No, they should be arrested instead. People are being falsely accused of crimes they did not commit, so innocent people will be killed.”

Lebone Komona: “Criminals no longer have a conscious nowadays so I fully support the motion. If a person kills another person they should also be executed.”
