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.

she took the advanatge that her husband is the state security minister, look how Jacky took the position himself do not forget that she will spend maybe five years becuase she has money
ReplyDeleteit may be that we are a large degree of freedom and democracy but it is never so,the issues of this hihg class not being treate like others is because they use the money that was gain out of law to free themselves i think do not deserve to have bail because they will obviously afford it and i think they accounts should be frozen if immediately find that they are quilty
ReplyDeleteI think that Shery Cwele did the right thing by handing herself after being found guilty.I know drugs trafficking is a bad thing but what she did shows that she is taking responsibility for her actions.
ReplyDeleteshe had nothing to do as she was instructed to hand herself in to the police on Thursday before 13h00 pm. she could not even refuse since she was found guilty.
ReplyDeleteyea i get your point grace when u say they use the corrupt money to free themselves, i think the solution would be to deny them with bail because if they could be given a bail, they will apparently afford and get back to their habits.
Her appeal proved fruitless and she got 20 years to serve in jail that shows money can't buy the justice when its made.
ReplyDeletesomehow i have a feeling with the messed up government she will be out on medical parole
