How is this a black and white issue ? He’s white, he killed a white woman and the judge is a BLACK woman. #OscarPistorius #Masipa

Some natives stole sweets worth R300 and were sentenced to 15 years in jail; #OscarPistorius kills Reeva, he gets sentenced to 6 years.

Didn’t realize Masipa was such a fan. Steenkamp’s are lucky Masipa didn’t make them apologies to Oscar for inconveniences #OscarPistorius

What a disgrace – this isn’t an athlete who ‘made a mistake’, this is a criminal who can run. #OscarPistorius https://t.co/HcGr5GcbIx
