This after the High Court in Polokwane, Limpopo, handed the four teenagers found guilty of murder a 10-year sentence each.

The other two teenagers were given three-year imprisonment terms, while the two adults were fined R20 000 each.Family Spokesperson Karabo Themane says the sentences are light. “Well, first of I feel that was a lousy judgement. I feel it hasn’t done justice to what happened to my brother. What happened to my brother was not just murder; it was a brutal and evil act and to show mercy to such people to me is an insult to my family and the community. To me, this is a slap on the wrist.”

In the video below prior to sentencing proceedings, Themane’s family said they just want justice for their son:

So in kaifulee's mind dark skin is inferior and should be criticized? What kind of racism is that? Not to mention his own black and yellow face. He is a poor man who eats leftovers. So kaifulee's discriminating against and mocking you black people?

I don't want to say,but it seemed that he had recently taken a distorted picture of me in a darker light. I don't think it's anything, but he's been smearing or mocking me for a while.
