Matlhomola Mosweu's father Saki Dingake left court a disappointed and hurt man after two men convicted for his son's killing were not given life sentences
Mosweu's mother, Agnes, was also not satisfied with the sentence but she said she was relieved the pair would be behind bars.
The sole witness on the case Bonakele Pakisi, who has repeatedly said his life was threatened for testifying against the men, said he hoped now people would stop hating him. But Judge Ronald Hendricks said Pakisi's version was accepted by the court as having been honest, truthful and reliable.
