The Commission for Gender Equality has
welcomed the judgement handed down to against the pregnant teen’s killer, Thato
Kutumela.
Kutumela was sentenced to 10 years for
raping and 20 for murdering 18-year-old Zanele Khumalo three years ago.
CGE Spokelersperson Javu Baloyi said this
will send a strong message to society that our justice system is working and
justice will be seen not being heard that, and will serve a deterrent to those
that who will want to commit such approach, they need to make sure this trend
stops.
Baloyi added that The CGE believes that
such a successful prosecution will definitely give courage to other victims of
gender-based violence to come out and testify as the country deals with the
scourge of violence against women.
