The mysteries of the ‘Sunflower’ murder case

With leaders like Mahumapelo, no wonder SA in is a state, writes

The alleged “sunflower” murder case becomes more bizarre with each passing day. At first there were no witnesses, then suddenly one appeared on television with a cockamamie story only Red Riding Hood would believe.

In the bail application hearing witnesses contradicted each other, as well as their own stories.

The brave magistrate ruled that, according to the law, bail would be granted.

The mobs then, as usual, went on the rampage.

Do they really understand what “bail” means? Apparently not.

Coligny, a small irrelevant town, barely existing with its rundown shops, dilapidated houses, potholed roads, sewage everywhere, and a high unemployment rate, was then systematically destroyed by looters and thugs – never to be apprehended or convicted, and never realising that they are the biggest losers in the end.

The North West Premier, Supra Mahumapelo, in his great wisdom, instead of trying to calm things down, said Mosweu “died at the hands of white people”, and that there was “no confusion” about at whose hands Mosweu died, thus fanning the flames of anarchy.

Really, premier, and the case hasn’t even gone to trial.

He also said he wants “draconian” steps to be taken against the accused.

Then came his coup de grace. He reminded everyone that “whites are visitors in the country”. Not much of an historian is our Mahumapelo. Blacks are also not indigenous to SA, and are also “visitors”.

He says it’s racism when whites sign a petition, but wants to interfere with a court’s decision by appealing.

With so-called leaders like Mahumapelo, no wonder the country is in the state it’s in.
