Discussion | Wrongful conviction

Osiphesona Ngcanga has been released from prison after two years for a crime he did not commit. What happens when something like this happens and who should be held accountable? Courtesy #DStv403

I am very willing to believe he did not commit the crimes, but we don't know. I inderstand there were shortcomings in the evidence and that's why the conviction is overturned. So legally 'not guilty'. But thats different from saying 'a crime he did not commit'. As long as the real perpetrator has not been found we just don't know who did or didn't commit the crime

This guy spent 2 year in jail for crime he did not commit. Zuma is outside for many crimes he did commit on a sick note. How is that logical in our justice system.

The ANC must also set the Apla soldiers free that were detained during the apartheid. The Anc must set us free from bondage and the rainbow nation delusion.
