Special Report Transcript Episode 43, Section 3, Time 08:30

The six young men got life sentences for these gruesome deaths. Phineas spent two years on death row before his sentence was changed to 18 years imprisonment. This week he asked for amnesty in a bid to start a new life. // I’m sorry it ever happened. I can’t sleep ever since, there is something in my conscience that says, but the cause was just, but in the process people lost their lives. I cannot walk up tall with my head high. Whatever achievements I have, there’s still something hanging in my back and I ask of you to please, please consider forgiving me. Asking forgiveness from you would be something else, but I here now plead with you. I know it’s difficult, but I plead with you to please consider forgiving me. // I will never forgive Mr. Ndlovu. If it were possible for him to raise my dead sisters I would forgive him, but I’m not in a position to forgive him now. // I would have forgiven Ndlovu, if when he rendered his testimony he told the truth, but he gave such a fabricated version of the whole event, so much so that he dampened my spirit, he even dampened the spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation that I thought I may probably have. If he could wake up the four people who died maybe I could forgive him.

Notes: Phineas Ndlovu; Godfrey Masupa (Victim’s brother); Elsinah Masupa (Victim’s mother)
