Citizen Contribution: M Ebrahim [1995] ZAConAsmRes 630 (3 February 1995)
03/02/1995 Sir Duiiah Omar I would like you to implement the death sentence. People are committing far
too many murders and escaping scott free. If you implement
the death
sentence people will be scared to commit more murders because they know that their
lives would also be taken in turn. Take Saudi Arabia for example, implement the death sentence and an
eye-for-an‑eye rule, that is why if you commit a murder your
life will be
taken away and if you steal your hands will be chopped off and that is why Saudi
Arabia is a safe and peaceful place
to live in. I hope the new government will implement the death sentence and
an-eye-for-eye rule with you involved to stop crime, robberies and
theft. In
this way South Africa will be peaceful and a happy place for all to live
in. Yours sincerely Mr M. Ebrahim |
