The organisation says the Pretoria Magistrate’s court postponement of the case is delaying justice and they believe the man should have just been handed down 6 life sentences when he appeared on Tuesday. The suspect has been remanded in custody pending further investigations, including the finalisation of forensic reports.
A handful of #TheTotalShutdown members held a picket outside the Polokwane High Court earlier, in solidarity with those protesting outside the magistrate’s court in Pretoria. #TheTotalShutdown says the suspect deserves a harsher sentence due to the awful circumstances around the matter. Some members of #TheTotalShutdown organisation say the postponement of this case will give the suspect leeway to give explanations that can never be justified or acceptable.
