Annie 12/2/2008 12:44:17 PM
At last the end of this story. Hope she sits for a long long time.

Shaun 12/2/2008 12:48:12 PM
At last this story has ended. I was sick of reading about it.

Riana 12/2/2008 12:49:35 PM
Ek wonder of daar versagtende omstandighede met die oplegging van die fonnis gaan wees???

This earth do not need these kind of people let them rot in jail, i like what happened to the Skirlek boy and the Jeppe massacre, it shows that our justice system is in place Jacob Zuma is also next. we are tired of corruption, thievs, rape,murder and abuse of our people... COPE....

John 12/2/2008 12:56:10 PM
This is only one in probably thousands found guilty. Sorry they don't hang them any more!

Mike F 12/2/2008 12:56:21 PM
are becoming so common in SA, yet the culprits are caught everytime. Consider the very tragic consequences of these cases. The extent of damage caused to this family on both sides. The loss of life that especially the children are suffering, losing both parents, 1 killed, the other in prison. Both families going through absolute hell. Is it worth all the money in the world even contemplating this senseless deed?

smokey-smurf 12/2/2008 12:57:22 PM
I'd like to see her get punished under Muslim laws.

Smanga Zulu 12/2/2008 12:57:27 PM
At last!

Derick 12/2/2008 1:01:34 PM
The question is why high profile cases always takes so long and million of taxpayers money if it was obvious from the start that they were guilty and that only for greed.

GRAND DRAGON 12/2/2008 1:06:00 PM
HANG THEM

Kendeb 12/2/2008 1:09:28 PM
At last this has come to an end. Cases like these just makes living in South Africa hell, but through justice, this gives me hope for the future... those who are still contemplating to do the same... watch out, you might join her and her culprits quite soon. Can't wait to hear what their sentence would be.... hopefully for life!

Mahweeza 12/2/2008 1:20:03 PM
How delighted I am that this sordid little money wasting affair has reached its end and the murderous wife was found guilty. May she have the punishment she and her family deserve. A pity indeed that she could not be punnished the Muslim way...... Lock her up and toss the key away and so say all of us

BLM 12/2/2008 1:21:02 PM
And now all us law abiding citizens have to pay to keep them alive - Bring back the death penalty I say!!

Brian 12/2/2008 1:26:35 PM
Riana, Ons moet net leer om fonnis met 'n "V" te spel!! Waar dink jy sal die Regter versagtende omstandighede kry in 'n koelbloedige, beplande moord met hope verswarende omstandighede. Sy verdien die doodstraf.

Graeme 12/2/2008 1:41:45 PM
I hope they get life sentences,and lets all fight for the return of the death penalty.Graeme

The Truth 12/2/2008 1:47:40 PM
What a pity we don't have a death penalty anymore.What a loss this was for South Africa of an extremely talented individual like Taliep.I hope that they all sit and rot in prison for the rest of their lives,as all murderers and rapists in this country should.Justice has been served in this case,but not entirely.

Ellen 12/2/2008 1:51:11 PM
lock up the murder najwa,and throw the key in the ocean.
