These magistrate get intoxicated with the power they hold. How on earth do you sentence someone to 5 years for stealing a pant? What ever his motives are for stealing that pant are not relevant to the case. Charge him for witchcraft then if you find him guilty sentence him to 5 years.

What is the whole point of education? Where is equity which the law demands in this case? Why couldn’t the young man just be consoled at the Police Victim Support Unit and then given community service for 6 months or a year to clean the rubbish, sweep etc such a sad state of affairs. This justice system we have is truelly a cruel one, no difference with the colonial system but worse because the cells today are concentration camps with TB, HIV and Typhoid.

These magistrates. We should be seeking sentence that are reforming and corrective not hardening kids like him in jail. Blame the theology and media exposure to questionable theories of God

What about the privatization thief? Is it because it was a white collar thief?

The reason for the theft is not important. This is his mother, the item costs K20 and he is a first offender. No way can a ‘sane’ law person impose such a sentence. Community service or a suspended sentence would suffice.

The most unfortunate thing is we are moving from one doctrine of supernatural power of witchcraft to another in a small book called the bible. In short Africans are easy to indoctrinate. Its sickening.

That night, the Pentes will pray in tongues, shouting fire, fire on the witch … Until we stop these silly beliefs we will keep wallowing in poverty.
