After all ups and downs the constitutional
court has showed its fairness on Cwele’s case. Sheryl was arrested and charged in 2009 by the Hawks over
her alleged role in the recruitment of drug mules for an international
drug-trafficking ring. In May 2011 she was found guilty of drug trafficking by
the KwaZulu-Natal High Court. The former wife of the state
security minister Siyabonga Cwele was
charged with a case of drug dealing. She started to serve her 20 years sentence
in prison yesterday after handed herself in to the Westville prison. I am
wondering as to why those people who were supposed to be great examples to the
young people and the country as a whole fail to retain their perceptions.
However, I applaud the sentence given by the court. It really shows that our justice works to everyone. Since there is uncertainty about the equality when it comes to our justice, this will eventually restore its credibility and reliance. They say the prison is only for poor people. Think about Schabir Shaik’s case, how did it come to an end? What about Jeckie Selebi? All these people are of the high profiles, wealthy people. We need to bring our justice to equality and fair to everyone regardless of the individual’s status, material or occupation. We really need to have a balanced justice when compared to other countries in order to enhance our image and perception worldwide. Our country is rated number one in the entire continent with a large degree of freedom and democracy.
It is our mendate to retain that image.
