enforce violence on non-strikers
And in our studio discussion we
discuss the Oscar Pistorius trial with Advocate Sabelo Mabena.
l
Electoral commission of South African staff who
worked at one of the voting stations in springs, Kwatema, ward 17; where two
ballot boxes were found in a party agents home, have been removed. The staff at the station have been
relieved while an investigation continues.
l
AMCU’s on-going platinum miners strike has
turned violent. A non-striking worker was allegedly intimidated by 4 members. According to police
the old man collapsed after being assaulted with sticks and ‘knobkerries’ and
then drenched in petrol before being set alight. He was treated for second
degree burns and head injuries. The police however have promised to investigate
the matter further.
l
The Oscar trial has recently returned to court. The
Blade-runner was seen holding his head, crying while the court proceedings took
place.
We have in studio joining us today
Advocate Sabelo Mabena whose here to enlighten us on the Oscar trial
happenings.
Good evening Mr Mabena, thank you
for joining us.
(Mabena speaks)
1.
So the Oscar trial is now back in procession,
what is your take on the proceedings thus far?
(Mabena speaks)
2.
The
Paralympian was seen crying once again, do you think this is a way of getting
people to pity him?
(Mabena speaks)
3.
State prosecutor Gerrie Nel says he has no remorse for the accused and
believes that all the tears coming from the athlete is an entire act for people
to forget what the case is initially about. Would you say that this type of
statement is unfair?
(Mabena speaks)
4.
With
Pistorius continually being unable to answer questions due to his emotional
state, court has been adjourned a number of times. With expressions we see
coming from the blade-runner would you agree that he is suffering from some
sort of mental illness? And do you think he should get treated for this first
before the verdict is given?
(Mabena speaks)
5.
Lastly, with reason, do you think the state has
been fair to the accused thus far?
(Mabena speaks)
Thank you for your time and
insight.
