Latest comment in South Africa

Sipho Mnguni says... Mark Jack Deppe, I must confess that I am so impressed by your logical comments. They smell a very deep understanding of law. I mean if indeed this Zwaai guy raped Annene DNA evidence would have linked her. As to who indeed mentioned or pointed him out to the police is a mystery.
