Man serving life term for murder fights to be released from prison after 20 years and wins
Share
Johannesburg - A murderer in his 19th year of life imprisonment has convinced the Constitutional Court that he should be eligible for release next year and not 2027, a year that would mark 25 years in jail for him.
Prisoners serving life terms for committing heinous crimes such as premeditated murder and child rape qualified for parole after 25 years in South Africa.
Gaolatlhe Senwedi, jailed in 2002 with accomplice Alfred Khonyane for counts including murder and aggravated robbery, approached the Constitutional Court to argue that the Kimberley High Court infringed his rights by ordering a non-parole period of 25 years.
