Themane was hacked to death allegedly by a group of school boys in a city park in Polokwane on Saturday night. A video of the incident has been circulating on social media and in it the son of the former policeman claims to be untouchable because of his dad.National Police Spokesperson Vish Naidoo says nobody is above the law.
“Nobody is above the law. People cannot go around expecting to get away with such a heinous crime. I can confirm, yes, one of the suspects is the son of a retired police officer. I can also confirm from the interviews with that particular police officer that they are just as devastated as the nation at what has happened. You know, one has to sympathise with the parent.

We do have, I think at this stage, about a hundred children in South Africa’s prisons aged under 18 with very serious violent crimes.
