10 years for killing his teacher.
The second factor Malane considered was that there was the likelihood that the teenager was part of a gang.
"It turned out that you had fresh tattoos on your legs; you also said you were told that if you tattooed your legs you will be protected, but you did not say whether you were part of a gang or not," Malane said. The last factor was that the crime was planned and premeditated. "Life has been lost. The victim was a teacher and a bread winner; he chose a career which was a calling but it ended his life. You trampled on his rights; his family will live without him for the rest of their lives," the magistrate said as she explained why she could not impose section 76 of the Child Justice Act which states that the sentence must not be more than five years.
The teen's motives for the attack as detailed in a pre-sentencing report revealed that he had felt aggrieved that the teacher did not instruct other pupils to also cut short their hair.
