A South African court on Wednesday, November 11,
sentenced eight former police officers to 15 year each for killing a
Mozambican taxi driver. 27-year-old Mido Macia
was killed in February 2013 when the officers aged between 25 and 56,
dragged him handcuffed to the back of a police van and further assaulted
him in a holding cell. Macia died from head injuries and internal
bleeding caused by being dragged through the streets of Johannesburg in
full view of witnesses. The video was caught by onlookers and broadcast
around the world.
Judge Bert Bam said the
accused showed no remorse for their crime and did not deserve a more
lenient verdict,such as a suspended sentence.
"The continuous conduct of the accused concerning the injuries on the
deceased was barbaric and totally inexplicable" Bam said.
"What made their conduct more reprehensible was their cowardly attack
in a cell on a defenceless and already seriously man" he added.
A lawyer for the former officer said they would appeal against the murder conviction.

That serves them right Some people are so heartless.
Wickedness!!!!!!I just wish dey were sentenced to life imprison.
South Africa is a murderous country. I don't know why other African countries are still living in such a hateful country. Judiciary there is nothing to write home about. Look at the judgement past onto Oscar Pistorius for killing his girlfriend, sham. This is the reward we get for all the effort in liberating them from white minority rule.
Well deserved!
Gud 4 them, 15yr is small
They deserve it, stupid people. Africans doing Africans.

Not saying that they do not deserve their punishment, they do, it is a straightforward case. But it makes you wonder about the Pistorius case, would punishment being harsher if he were not a celebrated man?

Not just SA policemen alone. SA people are jealous of other African countries and are wicked to them. The poor mozambique man is driving a taxi to earn a living but see what the lazy SA men did to him. This is why their fellow SADC African countries hate them and dont vote for them during BBA contest
Vivian's english is correct. Go and check cruelty in the dictionary or google it. Ignorance is a diesease. Bo Vivian ignore the mumu
But It Will Not Bring Him Back! Wicked People!

This is inhumane!!!
So sad
other African countries living in South Africa are trying o, its like living in a lions den, they kill foreigners in the full glare of people, they are so barbaric.
laye too bad
South Africans are really very stupid and wicked people, they are blacks and are so wicked to fellow black people. Forgetting most of other black nations fought for their stupid apartheid cause
South Africans have conceded the ownership of their land to Whites and Asians and are now so frustrated that they are transferring their angst against other Africans. After Black Americans they are the worst group of blacks on earth today. Like their counterparts across the ocean, they boast of their country's wealth and discriminate against black immigrants but they own nothing in their countries. They possess no organised socio economic power, perform violence against one another, are drugged and diseased with no discernible generally recognised skill sets.
Lmaooo!!!!my dear u jst made me laff so hard,it's not linda dat cause it ooo u ned to put more effort.okay but wait linda won't give u any giveaway if u become 1st to comment. #wink

Aboki, shut up. Which time u come sabi oyibo? Vivian is very correct jare. Even though it's not the most beautiful way of saying it, it is, nevertheless, correct. Another way u fit puttam be this, ' cruelty in its highest order'. 'of it' in vivian's comment means 'of cruelty'. Highest order of cruelty. Cruelty get grade now, u no know?
