EDITOR- IN response to Siya Mkhize’s letter titled, ‘White people afford the best’, I whole heartedly agree Oscar Pistorius sentencing is far to lenient and should have a life sentence as he had full intention of killing the person behind the door. Culpable homicide is the unintentional of killing some one but four shots through the closed door? There was full intention. Some people, whites, blacks, Indians and coloureds have committed lesser crimes and have got very heavy sentencing but they say money does talk and relieves an itchy hand.
As for your comment that predominantly white people can afford the best things in life – bull dust. A lot of white people cannot afford proper legal representation the same, as the blacks and they are served the same sentencing. This story of yours Mkhize that much tougher measures are required in the country to ensure the sharing of wealth, property and land to empower the majority. The majority are they the black? And the sharing must it come from the whites?
What about the Robben Island Old Boys Club? Yes Zuma and his cohorts what about them sharing their corrupt money laundering and stolen taxes wealth from their own nation? The money is stolen from the citizens of this country and they don’t even blush from that.
But boy o boy our Roben Island Old Boys (presidents, mayor, councillors and people in parliament) have all got the very best privileges and benefits that they don’t deserve at all.
