Hilton Botha investigating officer in the Pistorius murder case |
The new development has an impact on Oscar case. Hilton Botha the investigating officer in the Pistorius murder case has misconducted the whole case, for example he did not bother to ask for or check Pistorius or Steenkamp's cellphones, even to seize a memory stick as an investigating officer. Secondly Botha gave the public lack of credibility towards his job by handling a murder case while the policeman is facing seven charges of attempted murder for allegedly firing shots at a minibus taxi carrying seven occapants. Barry Roux became a hero on his job by painting the SAPS as amateurs giving them a bad reputation. Oscar Pistorius team they did control their PR diversion very well, now the public look not only to Botha mistakes but also the SAPS on placing him in this position while they know. South Africa need to implement law into practical and avoid granting people who are guility second chances because they have money to escape like Botha and Oscar, what about those who are poor. South Africa always promote say NO to women abuse or violence but it seems like mens still have the power over womens. as a country we need to stick on what we say so that we progress not become planted as a weak country putting someone who is facing seven charges of murder, how can we trust our government if is so.
