INFIL // EXFIL just published its first video.
The Robert Wolk case has sparked renewed debate regarding the return of capital punishment in South Africa.
This video examines the recent legal updates surrounding the Robert Wolk case and explores why it has reignited public discourse on sentencing laws.
I break down the arguments currently circulating in the media and analyze how this specific situation fits into the broader context of the South African justice system. This analysis is intended for those following ongoing crime reports and those interested in the evolution of South African law.

In a recent interview, when asked about proactive measures to curb killings in Kemption Park, the Premier of Gauteng opened his statement with:
"The country is wild. The province is wild. We must not get emotional." - Lesufi
Don't get emotional, folks... when facing the rape and murder rates we have in SA. It's just the wild.
Are protected politicians out of touch with the real realities on the ground, or has the inconvenience of having to take streamy showers in hotels just clouded their judgement?
There have been significant updates in the Robert Wolk case.
The three accused appeared in the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court and according to the state's allegations, this appears to be a targeted hit.
The following are allegations made by the state:
The accident was no accident, and the state alleges that Robert wasn't the original target of the violence. One, Khotso Richard Mashao had been hired to kill four employees at a company. Mashao then recruited Hlangananani Shezi and Muziwethu Mthethwa to help him.
But when the three allegedly went to the company on September 16, the other people they were supposedly looking for weren't there. Robert Wolk was.
The three men subsequently followed him when the blue Jetta bumped Wolk's vehicle to get him to stop and he was shot and his phone was taken.
The accused now face six charges, including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition.
Their matter was postponed after two of the accused needed time to obtain legal representation. Mashao's bail application is expected to be heard on October 2.
But whatever eventually happens in court, there is a much bigger question sitting behind this case.
Rober Wolk's case doesn't merely end with people who have been arrested. It opened up a whole new investigation.
Who hired Mashao?
Who were the four intended targets?
What company did they work for?
Why were they targeted?
Who supplied the firearm?
The head of the snake.
IS IT TIME TO BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY?
The first episode of INFIL INFIL deals with the senseless murders happening in South Africa, updates on the Robert Wolk murder, the response capability of our justice system, and the attitudes of certain politicians.
It delves into the history of the abolition of capital punishment at the dawn of democracy and asks the very real question on every South African's mind.
IS IT TIME TO BRING IT BACK

Multiple Southern Hemisphere nations have larger white/European descent populations, including Australia (over 20 million) and Argentina (tens of millions), making the post's demographic claim inaccurate.
Not sure if this is due to terrible education systems, or if trying to come up with stories so often has caused you to change the planet's geographic layout.

@SABCNews It's literally a song about killing South Africans.
Boers and farmers are telling you it insults them.
They are telling you they don't like it.
You banned a fucking flag because it hurts people.
Ban a fucking song and let's get on with it.
@John_Mphatsoe@afriforum@kalliekriel Relax buddy.
It's prosecution. Not persecution.
There's still a court, and he still needs to be found guilty. If he's guilty, the evidence will prove it.
Nothing you are discussing here is new, friend.
It's regurgitated Marxist and Pan-African nonsense.
There's a link to the first sanctions that came from Reagan. If the USA was "white supremacy" and imposed "imperial dominance" on the African continent, why do everything to end just that? π
Bit of a contradiction, no?

These weren't the actions of @POTUS and @SecRubio
They were the actions of the Executive Order Reagan signed. When the USA helped end Apartheid and brought the ANC into power.
From the USA's Office of the Federal Register, National Archives: The provisions of Executive Order 12532 of Sept. 9, 1985
Now, 30-odd years later, when the USA is again requesting the end of racial legislation that the ANC snuck in while pretending to be a poster boy for humanity, we're asked to believe that the USA is an enemy?
Same old same old.
Apartheid is still very much alive in South Africa and to simply ask a South African to show his dompas today to invalidate the point is shallow.
BBBEE is the new dompas.
Both systems treat race as the stateβs primary ticket for access. The old ticket controlled physical space. The new one controls economic space.
Same clown. New outfit.
South Africa no longer requires a physical book to walk down a street. It requires a racial scorecard to walk into large parts of the formal economy.
@GovernmentZA still classifies citizens by race and then uses that classification as a condition of economic entry.
Any system that needs racial boxes to decide who may own, manage, supply, or be hired at scale has not left the dompas logic behind. It has moved it from geography to the economy.
It is racist and infringes on core constitutional principles that never allowed for race to dictate how we resolve problems ever again.
While BBBEE is sold as "broad based" it has also failed to achieve what it promised to do by only enriching a small connected few.
Race as permission slip is the continuity. The domain changed. The principle did not.
