The hawks serious investigation corruption unit was alerted when Igwe offered the police offer R100 bribe, a sting operation was conducted resulting in Igwe’s immediate arrest. 1.3 We often link corruption to those in power and higher positions. We don’t talk about these low scale corruptions. This article shows that everyone can participate in corruption and it’s not all police officials who are corrupt, like we also say they are. Even individuals are corrupt, it’s not all police officials that are corrupt and accepts bribes. 1.4 The story relates to our criminal justice as all the 5 stages of our criminal justice system.

She is greatful that her neighbour rescued her by calling her family. Elizabeth Khati-Saphula Lena’s niece they were confused as she’s the one that hired her and they always talked. They found cuts, broken arm and bruises on Lena. The Gogo was forced to sleep every time her helper’s lover was around, failure to do so she was beaten. Mpumalanga police spokesman Brigadier Leonard Hlathi said a case of assault has been opened against the women. She’s still on the run 2.3 When we hear of IPV we expect the offence to be done a husband/father or wife/mother to her/his kids or husband/wife. I found this article intresting because it shows that the offender can be anyone who’s close to us and does not necessary to be your husband/wife. It also shows the horror and abuse our parents go through in the hands of their care-giver and its necessary to always check with our parents and the relationship they have with their helpers. 2.4 No. firstly justice has not yet been served. The police and their investigating officers have not yet found the woman and no therapy was offered to Gogo as someone who faced abuse because abuse is abuse regardless of who commits it, therefore it lives a mark. There’s been no arrest made, meaning there’s no prosecuting taking place and the a sentence has not been given to the woman for the crime she committed. 2.5 Gogo Lena Mnguni and Brigadier Leonard Hlathi 2.6 No. the woman has not been yet arrested, even if the case has been opened gogo has not gotten her justice yet. The woman is still out there while gogo Lena still has trauma because of what happened. Article 3: hate crimes 3.1 Mamba online.Com. 2020.

The AC2 said ‘This is a devastating loss which should incite some reflection on violence against persons with diverse sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics”. of Prevention and Combating of Hate Crimes and Hate Speech Bill was revised and approved by cabinet but it’s still in limbo. Department of Justice and Constitutional Development was called to ensure justice for all hate crime victims

3.3 Even after all this information and education about homosexuality we still have people who would rather behave like animals and kill someone just because they chose to be true to themselves. The fact that the AC2 called the Justice and Constitutional Development to ensure justice and also called out the public system and public officers for their treatment against homosexuals and for them to put effort in their investigations. 3.4 This article does not relate to our criminal justice system, just like all the other hate crime against homosexual cases they are not taken seriously. The police haven’t said anything about this case. Since the police are the first responders, it means no justice will be served until the police starts their investigation to ensure justice to the victim and the family.
