Deputy Health Minister Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo says his department is in talks with the Cuban government to impose a lighter punishment for an Eastern Cape medical student who studied in Cuba.
Last month, the Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences in Cuba suspended the student from Ngqamakhwe, near Butterworth, for three years. He is accused of kidnapping two young Cuban women along with a fellow student from KwaZulu-Natal. The student alleges that the women were part of a trio that robbed them and were trying to get them to return their possessions.
Speaking during a visit to the student’s home, Dhlomo says his plea to the Cuban government is for the students to complete their studies. “We are pleading and are going to keep engaging with the Cuban government. However, they have also indicated to us that we should have some evidence that we are supporting this young boy. That we are engaging him in terms of counselling, because there was a particular misdemeanor, but we believe that this misdemeanor is probably not warranting this three years, so we are pleading just that part.”
If (s)he did the crime there, then (s)he should do their time there. They broke their laws, they should do their time in their prisons... Or even the death penalty, if they still have it.
If there was a Zimbabwean or a Nigerian a South African student was going to escape using Zimbabwean or Nigerian doors food for thought.
Would all have been unnecessary if there had not been a fabricated need to study elsewhere
But did he commit the offence or not?
If they broke there laws they must suffer the consequences
Or withhold the R50m that should go to starving East Cape kids
