People who murder black people get lenient sentences than those who kill white people - the sentencing in the Donovan Moodley and the so-called lesbian killers is a case in point.

Donovan Moodley got life for his role in the case of white teenagers who killed their parents, but the boys who killed Zoliswa Nkoyana for being lesbian only got 14 years.

The lesbian killers might end up doing only seven years before they are released. Is that justice?
