This guy's mother...

Kimberley photographer, Rudolph Coetzee, on Monday pleaded guilty in the Northern Cape High Court to 45 charges, including rape, sexual assault and the manufacturing of child pornography involving local children as young as three years old.

During the plea explanation, Coetzee’s legal representative, advocate Van Zyl Nel, told the court that his client had a “trust relationship” with all the young victims, after being introduced to them through friends of his mother, who he lived with.

Coetzee left school in Grade 10 to pursue a career in photography.

Coetzee’s mother was on Monday in court sitting next to him and often leaning over to offer him words of support.

“I don’t condone what my son has done but a mother stays a mother regardless, and I will keep supporting him,” she told the DFA

She should be on the stand too IMO.

Why? She does not condone what he did. A parent will always support their children, they will not agree with the action/wrong, be dissapointed and dowright pissed off but at the end of the day it's still their child.

You missed the part where I quoted that she introduced these poor kids to her son.

And yes, I would have admired her devotion if it wasn't so apparent that she seems to have been party to this business.

Not from what you quoted.

Nah, you got comprehension issues.

Okay, misread that as the mom introducing her friend's kids to her son. Guess it's not too odd to think that the mother's friends would have direct relationships with the son in a situation like this.

Found this while trying to see if the mother ran a halfway house or something:

"Attacks on WHITES" "Attacks on blacks" "Attacks on coloureds"

Don't see any reason for her to be on the stand unless it's as a character witness.
