‘Now 63 years old, Najwa Petersen began serving a 28-year sentence on 11 February 2009 for murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances. She has participated in various rehabilitation programmes and will now be enrolled in pre-release programmes to prepare her for reintegration into society.’ Another co-accused, Jefferson Snyders, who was sentenced to ten years for aggravated robbery, has since passed away.
According to the statement, Najwa’s family as well as the family members of the late music legend were involved in the parole-hearing process and have been informed of the CSPB’s decision. Normal parole conditions will apply and a Community Imbizo to engage residents is expected to take place in Athlone.‘We are disgusted and appalled at the decision of the parole board. If they say she is a flight risk, then why give her parole?’ says Maatoema.
