Political parties unite at court to call for harsh punishment for ThorisoThemane murder
Political parties have gathered outside the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court where five teenagers are appearing for the alleged murder of Thoriso Themane, who was attacked in Flora Park at the weekend.
The five are understood to include a teen who posted a video on social media boasting that no one could do anything to him because his father was a policeman. The 27-year-old victims’s father, Mahlapahlapana, has said he now regrets bringing his son into what he has described as a vicious world. He said it was painful that he thought his son would bury him, but now he is the one who has to bury his son.
“We are pleased that you knew the Lord in your teenage years, although you had your own weaknesses. But the grace of God has undertaken for you … I will find you there,” he said, speaking to news channel eNCA.Meanwhile, political parties gathered outside the Polokwane court demanding action for Themane’s “senseless” death. The DA called for harsh punishment for the perpetrators, as a lesson to others.
