SANCO speak up about Oscar verdict
SANDTON - Though members of the South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco) were united in a solidarity march for the Palestinian people in Sandton on 12 September, they were divided in opinion regarding the Oscar Pistorius trial verdict.
While some of the marchers supported Judge Thokosile Masipa’s verdict, the majority saw it as the legal system failing women in South Africa.
“I think Oscar murdered that girl. As a woman I feel that the judge was wrong, and that the law is failing us,” said Sanco member, Patience Khumalo.
Another marcher, Thabo Sadiki, said, “I think the judgement was right. The judge said he was not guilty so we must respect the law.”
