ANC Women League outraged at Oscar Pistorious Sentence
Oscar Thomas
The African
National Congress Women’s League said it is outraged at the sentencing of Oscar
Pistorius to five years in prison for culpable homicide.
Earlier
today Judge Thokozile Masipa sentenced Pistorius to five years for culpable
homicide and three years, suspended for the discharge of a firearm at Tasha’s
restaurant.
In a statement
the women’s league said it remains dissatisfied with the verdict delivered
today.
ANC’s
Women’s League Khusela Sangoni said we have consistently said that we believe she
adds in her verdict she finds Oscar Pistorious guilty of culpable homicide and
not murder.
Sangoni
said as such this sentence is just more aforementioned of that.
As the Women’s
league we will be approaching the State requesting that they consider an appeal
in this case as we want to be friends of the court.
“South
African women are abused on the daily basis at the hands of their partners and
this miscarriage of justice cannot be allowed to continue Sangoni added.
