The criminal justice system in South Africa is dedicated to protecting its community members, as shown by the recent sentencing of Hlajoane Shakhale and Thabang Molapisi to life and 18 years in prison, respectively. The police and prosecutors in the North West province work tirelessly to hold criminals accountable, particularly in cases involving vulnerable groups like women and children. The swift response and stern punishments demonstrate the judiciary’s commitment to enforcing justice, fostering a culture of accountability and deterrence against crime.
