Prison is better than a coffin - ANC
8 December 2016
Middelburg - The ANC in Mpumalanga says justice has been served after the two men who allegedly forced Victor Mlotshwa into a coffin and threatened to pour petrol over him were denied bail in the Middelburg Magistrate’s Court.
Magistrate Jongilizwe Dumehleli delivered his judgment in the case of Theo Jackson and Willem Oosthuizen on Thursday morning.
"We want them to feel how it feels to be in a coffin. Prison is better than a coffin," ANC regional chairperson Speedy Mashilo said.
"We are very satisfied with the judgment and how the judge [magistrate] handled the case. We hope this will serve as a lesson to others."
