The king of Nelson Mandela’s Thembu ethnic group was sentenced Thursday to 12 years in jail for Arson, molesting people and kidnapping a family in an supposed attempt to discipline them.
South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal was ruling on an appeal by King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo against his 2009 conviction and sentencing to a 15-year jail term.
The court in Bloemfontein upheld charges of arson, kidnapping, assault and “defeating the ends of justice”, but it dismissed one charge of culpable homicide.
King Dalindyebo’s legal team argued, in vain, that the burning of three families’ homes did not amount to arson because the properties could technically be regarded as belonging to the king, the eNCA news channel reported.
Ca you imagine a King getting involved in ridiculous crimes such as Arson.Thank God for justice.
