Wilson asked Makhubela what facts could be identified to render the prescribed sentence disproportionate. "Shouldn't take into account that the offence was committed by the two and that Malephane received a lesser sentence? What would you say about the degree of participation between the two? Is there one?" asked Wilson."The fact he pleaded not guilty shouldn't be seen as negativity. He exercised his constitutional rights. You want me to compare two cases that are not the same.
"Substantial and compelling circumstances can be drawn from Shoba's pretrial detention, especially where the accused didn't delay the trial. The court should consider that the sentence Malephane received will not leave the court at ease."
