As ActionSA, we are deeply disappointed by the outcome of yesterday’s court case. Despite overwhelming evidence and the tragic loss of a young life, the alleged perpetrator was only given a bail amount of R5000.
This not only shows a failure in our justice system, but also a disregard for the value of human life. The accused had already shown aggressive behavior by taking the victim’s sister’s phone and making threats, yet he was still able to obtain bail.
Furthermore, the fact that the accused deliberately attacked the victim after previously stating that he would “show them” is a clear indication of premeditation and malice. This is a grave injustice and our hearts go out to Gomolemo’s family who have been failed by the very system that is meant to protect them.
We believe that this case highlights the need for reform in our justice system. The accused’s actions were not only a violation of the victim’s rights, but also a threat to the safety and well-being of the community. We will continue to closely follow this case and advocate for justice to be served for Gomolemo’s family.
The accused is set to return to court on November 04 to begin the trial, and ActionSA will ensure that this case is not forgotten and that the appropriate punishment is given.
