A mother killing her own child, as well as her lovers, is not the sort of news one hears every other day. Thus, when it happens, there is usually great concern about the incident and what must have provoked it.
Beyond that, there is usually a strong voice of condemnation, as well as calls for her to face the full wrath of the law – as the cliche goes.
Well, this played out recently and South Africans are left scratching their heads as a mother, Pamela Ncumisa Selani, killed two of her lovers as well as her teenage son, Avile Jonjwana.
The incident shook the Rainbow Nation when it happened and formed a subject of conversation on social media for a while. Well, it appears some people have gotten a semblance of closure over the case as the murder accused has been slammed with three life sentences.
Seemingly, she got a life sentence for each life taken. However, as often happens, it is a different ball game to see her actually spend a lifetime in jail. For one, after a couple of years, some people usually earn parole – especially when they have been of excellent conduct while in the slammer. Whether her case would be any different is unclear at this point.
