Mzansi angered by this

South Africans had quite a lot to say about this, as some say it is not harsh enough.

Many feel as though he deserves something harsher as it would not bring Reeva Steenkamp back.

@HightoDeep said:

"He wasn’t freed for murdering her, he was convicted for doing so."

@petra_sverige asked:

"Will that bring Reeva back !??"

@noabellesmum exclaimed:

"Not enough!"

@01PrincessDiana asked:

"On his knees?"

@Permanentlypis1 argued:

"He was 'freed for murdering Reeva Steenkamp', was he? I'm pretty sure he was convicted for murdering Reeva Steenkamp and given an extremely light sentence for doing so because he's a rich entitled man. I see his PR machine is busy, and you are complicit in it."
