Despite his suffering, Batho felt compassion for Dr Nandipha's parents. He said he could not imagine the effect this must have on them.

Speaking directly to the reporter, he remarked:

"What they did is senseless. What they did was inhumane. What they have to do is repent, especially Dr Nandipha. She went to university, spending her parents money, but now she's stooping so low, it's heartbreaking. I can't imagine how her parents are feeling right now. Because whatever you do as a child, you are representing your parents."
