Johannesburg - The Protea Magistrate's Court was filling up
on Thursday morning ahead of convicted killer Molemo Jub Jub Maarohanye's
appearance.
Maarohanye and Themba Tshabalala intend to appeal their
25-year jail terms.
Wearing shackles, Tshabalala entered the courtroom wearing
blue jeans, an orange shirt and brown jacket. He was followed by Maarohanye,
also in shackles, wearing black trousers and a white shirt.
Proceedings were slightly delayed because magistrate Brian Nemavhidi
dealt with other matters before concentrating on the appeal.
On 5 December 2012 the same court sentenced them to 20 years
imprisonment each for murder, and four years for attempted murder.
For use of drugs, driving under the influence of drugs, and
racing on a public road, they received a year for each count, to run
concurrently.
They were drag-racing in Protea North on 8 March 2010 when
they crashed into a group of schoolboys. Prince Mohube, Mlungisi Cwayi, Andile
Mthombeni, and Phomello Masemola were killed. Frank Mlambo and Fumani Mushwana
were left permanently brain damaged.
The court found the men guilty on 16 October.
The relatives of the victims and Maarohanye's friends were
present in court.
