South African justice system fails Precious Ramabulana
Precious Ramabulana’ murder case has placed the justice system under the microscope after it was revealed that the accused was allegedly out on parole for another rape case.
A 28-year-old man appeared in the Morebeng Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 2 December in connection with the murder of Precious Ramabulana, Polokwane Review reports.
Aubrey Manaka was arrested at his parental home in Nyakelang Village, Botlokwa on Thursday 28 November 2019.
This after the 21-year-old TVET college student was stabbed to death in her room in an off-campus residence in Mokomene on Sunday, 24 November.
In an earlier statement, Police Spokesperson, Brig Motlafela Mojapelo explained that the deceased’s frantic screams were heard by a neighbour who called the police.
On arrival, the police found her body in a pool of blood with several stab wounds.
Reports suggest that he faces charges of murder, rape and robbery with aggravating circumstances.
He has, however, abandoned bail and the court remanded him in custody until 30 January.
Manaka was reportedly on parole for the rape of a minor when he committed his latest crime.
Users on Twitter have since taken to the platform to express their dismay with the judicial system.
So this guy was on parole when he brutally raped and Murdered Precious, after spending 6 years in jail for raping a child. Wow!!! South Africa’s justice system is a joke. #PreciousRamabulana pic.twitter.com/FIt7X62eef

I can't believe that #PreciousRamabulana murderer was on parole after serving 6 years of child minor rape! WTF. The justice system is very naive this monster was bound to commit more crimes. There's no rehabilitation for this one. The justice system must explain! https://t.co/Qh5ecCem0w

Aubrey Manaka has committed crime before, he raped a minor, served time then got out on parole. Now I have questions
What exactly is the correctional services doing?
Isn't their duty to "correct" someone before they could release that person?#PreciousRamabulana— Maradebe 🍀 (@Spirituality_ZA) December 2, 2019
