SA reacts after Sizokthola busts alleged dealer again
Social media users filled the comments with a mix of reactions. While some critiqued Sizok’thola, others highlighted that the repeat bust exposed the level of the rot in South Africa’s criminal justice system.
Here are some of the comments:
@Anam_Myolwa said:
“This doesn't help, like this whole Sizokthola thing, they are catching small people.”
@Tom47096338 claimed:
“We tell people that drug trafficking is not a serious offence in South Africa. If you are unfortunate, you might get a 3-year prison sentence, serve 1 year and be released. All the Nigerians whom Xolani keep arresting are out on the streets.”
@Muzi03636991 shared:
“X is fooling us. Most of these people are getting caught for the second time. These people are recruiting and taking over territories in plain sight. You work for them, no cameras. Same naboNhlanhla, left Soweto, Johannesburg CBD, right straight to Hillbrow. I was shocked.”
@essimelane asked:
“How come she's out after she was found with drugs. Are the courts no longer prosecuting drug-related crimes?”
@Downs04684246 said:
“Well, it pays in this Banana Republic, you just spend a day or 2 in jail, then out you go.”
@MolebogengNchab asked:
“How is she out? Was she given bail? What is happening?”
