The man, identified as Sammy Morake Morote, from Atteridgeville, posted a video commenting on the shooting of 26-year-old Sophie Ledwaba outside a nightclub in Sunnyside on 19 August, reports the
Pretoria News.
In the video, which lasts over three minutes, Morote, who calls himself a “Team Volt SA” member, said he did not blame the shooter if Ledwaba accepted alcohol knowing she had no intention of sleeping with him.
Addressing “our black sisters”, he said in Sotho: “Please inform us when you are on your periods so we can buy you what people on periods drink which is cranberry juice (sic).”
He added: “When you’re on your periods don’t drink Verve or Henessy, you don’t qualify, please think of men.”
He went on to say that although the man who shot Ledwaba was not a member of Team Volt SA they did not blame him as he did what satisfied him.
He added that although they often paid bills of R40 000 a night, anyone who took advantage of them should not be surprised to get four bullets.
He was arrested by SAPS members during a midnight raid on his home on Monday night, when police recovered a Z88 pistol.
He appeared briefly in court on Wednesday, where his bail application was turned down after it was revealed he had 12 pending charges against him, ranging from murder to carjacking.
