Zola Tongo, who chauffeured Anni and her British husband, Shrien Dewani, during their honeymoon in Cape Town, is serving an 18-year jail sentence for his role in the murder.
“On paper, Mr Tongo has done what he needs to receive parole and the committee was inclined to give it to him. With that being said, there wouldn’t be much sense in trying to challenge the decision,” the e-mail said.
Hindocha laid into Tongo and SA's justice system. “This man should be behind bars, he is dangerous to society. He doesn’t deserve to be outside,” he told TimesLIVE from Sweden. “I think the parole committee says that he ticked all the boxes to get the parole, but that doesn’t make sense. If you are a murderer and you know you have done something wrong, naturally, you will try to be nice in prison to escape the long sentence. And that is what he did.
Hindocha and his brother, Ashok, travelled to SA in May last year to object to Tongo’s application for release on parole. “So I flew all the way from Sweden, myself and my brother, for three days . This is shocking, surprising and very irritating. I ask myself where is justice?”
