Young South African Jailed for Life in Thailand after Signing for Parcel Containing Drugs, Addressed to her Employer!

Posted on Leave a comment

Family, friends and an ever increasing group of concerned supporters, of Ashley Oosthuizen (22), an innocent South African who was imprisoned for life in a Thai jail two years ago, are appealing to the ANC government in SA to pay urgent attention to her case. Oosthuizen’s family also fear that they will now rarely be able to contact her, after she was recently moved to a new prison. Her parents have apparently last spoken with her in December last year.

Oosthuizen was arrested on October 8, 2020 on drug-related charges after receiving and signing for a parcel at her workplace, which was not addressed to Oosthuizen, but to the former owner of the “Hot in the Biscuit” restaurant in Koh Samui where she was employed as a driver. The restaurant had at the time of the incident belonged to her then boyfriend, who was known as Triss Nepps (Tristan Nettles) on social media.

Cabinet will discuss calls for return of death penalty amid rising violence against women in SA

Posted on Leave a comment

Justice minister Ronald Lamola has promised to take calls for a referendum for the return of the death sentence to the cabinet.

The calls have been made amid the background of rising violence against women in the country, particularly in the wake of the brutal rape and murder of student Uyinene Mrwetyana, which brought the question of gender-based violence and femicide back into the spotlight.

Lamola and minister for women in the presidency Maite Nkoana-Mashabane were addressing the media on Tuesday.

Lamola said he could not decide alone whether or not to bring back the death penalty, but that all he could do was to take the matter to cabinet for discussion – and then for approval or disapproval.

“Whether we are open to referendum or not, at this stage I cannot say… It is something we can take further as a discussion to the cabinet,” said Lamola.

According to him, the NPA and the court could never alone halt gender-
