Mrwetyana killer was a criminal before Post Office job


The deceased Uyinene Mrwetyana


The alleged killer of 19 year old Uyinene Mrwetyana was a criminal before he was employed by Post Office in Clareinch, Cape Town.


Luyanda Botha was a criminal and he had served jail time before for hijacking. It is emerged that the South African State Security Agency did some vetting process and the officials were made aware about the criminal record of the former employee.


It is a concerning issue because the matter was brought on mid last year by the officials and the perpetrator had survived all these months till he showed his true colors by raping and brutally killing the University of Cape Town student several months ago.


The family of the deceased are weighing their options to file a civil claim against the Post Office on how did they let the child die in a public space from the hands of a government hospital.


Despite the improvements in the screening for security,by SAPO, the family needs justice to be served as the accused will be facing trial in Western Cape High Court.
