One more hateful bigot behind bars *and* he won't be able to run for office again? Heck yeah! Finally some good news.

TBH I don't see him ever going to prison, but yeah at least he'll be blocked out of parliament for a good 10 years. He's gonna appeal this shit for at least 3 years, but more likely 5, and only then if none of his appeals are successful will he end up behind bars. If the conviction and sentencing stands, he'll probably fake up some "terminal illness" like Zuma did to get out.
