Agreed. South Africa's "justice" system makes no sense! It's the same ludicrous situation as the release of those demons that raped, disemboweled and attempted to murder Alison Botha! Despite threatening her from prison those "lewende wesens" were still released! Can you imagune the terror she lives with-again? This beggars belief. There are some crimes that should never be forgiven & the perpetrators NEVER released. This is when vigilante justice is appropriate.
There is really something wrong our country's leaders they are thinking backwards like honeslty it's a challenge living in the country so basically they are waiting for this person to strike again it might not be now
All those young lives and only 28 years? It should have been life for each one of them. Why should the community be the ones to be put at risk and in terror for their children?
I was a kid going to school in Mitchell's plain during that time even though I didn't live there. Was absolutely terrified back then and now the world is so much worse and I gotta fight harder to protect my kids
Pathetic response from the Policeman, "The community is upset thats we are monitoring him" He should not enjoy the privelage of being in society-period
This man strategically targeted his young victims. It was well planned and thought out. It was not a mistake. The lawmakers of our country are completely detached from the people of South Africa. How can the life of this man be of more value than his victims?
Can we PLEASE simplify the law system: • Life sentence is LIFE sentence; • 30years is 30 years etc. These double-edged sentences has no meaning. Can somebody please rewrite the books and be more definitive and precise ???
Best thing for the community to do is that since the government has zero concern for the safety of the community where he was released is then for the community to band together for the safety of their kids. All households within 5 blocks of each other need to collectively come together under a common mindset of safety, have elected community members for each 5 block section to then go to each household and simply ask for 6-12 months rates and taxes bills. That is the easiest way to find out where he is and what he looks like.
This is heartbreaking. With the knowledge that sex offenders are likely to repeat the crime, why would they allow him back into the community? He needs to be isolated. At least they're watching him but I'd not be at ease knowing he's around.
I want to know would this interview be taking place if he was released to Manenberg or Hanover Park? Nina bantu base Soth Africa niyaxaka. Do you know how many killers and rapists are released to go to Gugulethu? mnxim
I think I may have read something like that but not entirely sure. It's been over 30 yrs. But something doesn't add up. All the victims except Elroy was found in the dunes in Mitchells Plain But what I don't get is when he lured Elroy from Strand & board a train sure there should've been more accurate witness description who were on that train & why make it so obvious & far from his supposed killing fields.
It is such a pity that talking about the death penalty is seen as anti something and taboo, much as he has served his time he had an opportunity to do that; what about those whose opportunities to live he took away? These were innocent children, no matter what his brother did to him he still killed innocent children; this is so wrong.
This PREDATOR should live out (undeservingly) the rest of his sentence behind bars, he is a clever chameleon, that will, as the statistics point out, most probably reoffend. There is something so sickeningly wrong with the justice system, why should innocent children, yet again, be put at risk
Carte Blanche have not done the facts of this case justice. Simons cannot be tied to the other 21 boys. There is no evidence. The DNA found on other boys and on Elroy does not match Simons. Simons was convicted on the basis of an eyewitness saying it was him yet this eyewitness said the man had an afro which Simons did not. Simons also had an alibi. He was seen at a library in Clairmont about an hour before Elroy was kidnapped. Furthermore, there were about another 4 to 5 boys killed in a similar way after Simons was detained. The chances are very high that the real strangler was never actually caught. Simons confessed but withdrew his confession. When he took police to sites where he claimed he left bodies, there was nothing found.
Exactly the 1st spate of killings during the 80's also differ from the 2nd phase during the 90's. The identikit was that of a colored person with an afro & the victims was mostly in their mid teens. That meant Simons wouldve been 19 when he 1st started his killing spree in 1986.
How can all these people here in the posts and some in the video say they don't know what he looks like?? When there are LOTS of photos of him in Google images!!🙄
The police arent letting down their guard ??? Have you seen who the minister of police is ? He can't speak English, how would we expect the saps to keep an eye out for him
Our justice system is about correction and rehabilitation ,hence Wallus and Derby Wallus were realsed and no Carte Blanche abouts them so lets not be oversensationalists.
Last time bester got access to an electronic device, he planned and executed a daring escape tht embarrassed DCS😂😂😂 Do the really wanna go dwn tht route again? Now bester knows they dont knw how to extradite a prisoner😂😂😂
With all those murders he committed he should have been convicted to life in prison...n now he walks free he will b doing the same sometime soon ...take care of ur kids
Cost so much time, effort, resources and money to get these people convicted, just to release him back into society. Why? Why? He was targeting vunerable kids. I am sorry to say - he will offend again.
This man could be innocent. After watching the documentary, I'd say otherwise. No evidence was found against him. DNA of the 4 other kids didn't match with his DNA. And the murders of kids continued after he got imprisoned. In conclusion, i doubt he killed all kids. I'd like to hear his side of story on the documentary

This man should never have been given parole unless it was to become a permanent resident of Lentegeur/Valkenberg.
Paedophiles and Psychopaths cannot be rehabilitated.
There is something majorly wrong with our justice system.......
Agreed. South Africa's "justice" system makes no sense! It's the same ludicrous situation as the release of those demons that raped, disemboweled and attempted to murder Alison Botha! Despite threatening her from prison those "lewende wesens" were still released! Can you imagune the terror she lives with-again? This beggars belief.

No, it is just the very clever ANC cadre deployment called lamola, on reccomendation of their very clever leader rama
There is really something wrong our country's leaders they are thinking backwards like honeslty it's a challenge living in the country so basically they are waiting for this person to strike again it might not be now
Yes, there isn't one!
It works just fine for corrupt officials. It don't work for law abiding citizens
How on earth is it possible for this person to be released to walk the streets again where kids should feel safe?
All those young lives and only 28 years? It should have been life for each one of them. Why should the community be the ones to be put at risk and in terror for their children?
This is disturbing. He's a monster. He shouldn't live amongst kids😢😢😢
Never ever trust a "likeable" guy. Never.
He should not have been allowed out into any community!!!
I was a kid going to school in Mitchell's plain during that time even though I didn't live there. Was absolutely terrified back then and now the world is so much worse and I gotta fight harder to protect my kids
Pathetic response from the Policeman,
"The community is upset thats we are monitoring him"
He should not enjoy the privelage of being in society-period
its because thy are just so corrupt
It's just not right, life is hard enough with all the crime going on, and now this excuse of a human could well be your neighbour
This man strategically targeted his young victims. It was well planned and thought out. It was not a mistake. The lawmakers of our country are completely detached from the people of South Africa. How can the life of this man be of more value than his victims?
He must be revealed and idenified, and adress made know. How do you avoid people like him? Bring the death penalty!
So why is he still alive?
South Africas criminal justice system protects criminals not the public
Can we PLEASE simplify the law system: • Life sentence is LIFE sentence; • 30years is 30 years etc. These double-edged sentences has no meaning. Can somebody please rewrite the books and be more definitive and precise ???
Well done Erin. Cannot have this predator roaming around.
How on earth is it possible for this person to be released to walk the streets again where kids should feel safe here in Parow !!!
Best thing for the community to do is that since the government has zero concern for the safety of the community where he was released is then for the community to band together for the safety of their kids. All households within 5 blocks of each other need to collectively come together under a common mindset of safety, have elected community members for each 5 block section to then go to each household and simply ask for 6-12 months rates and taxes bills. That is the easiest way to find out where he is and what he looks like.
I suspect he'll soon be identified within the community he resides and will just disappear.
We need to bring the death penalty back
It is on such cases when mob justice should be condoned.
I say they should get a hitman on him! Problem solved!!!!!
If the law doesn't bring justice it's up to the people.
He should go stay on Robben Island and parole officers have to visit him there.
Best comment ever! 👌
22 deaths for 28 years does that make sense
I think he was sentenced 56years for the murders that could be proven. And got parole for 28yrs
Why would he be released?
He is the killer. To all of them. He deseves to be behind bars. Reopn the case!!!!
Its like resettling an alcoholic next to a liquor store...it makes no sense at all...
This is heartbreaking. With the knowledge that sex offenders are likely to repeat the crime, why would they allow him back into the community? He needs to be isolated. At least they're watching him but I'd not be at ease knowing he's around.
Mercy killing?
This man should never have been given parole unless it was to become a permanent resident of Lentegeur/Valkenberg.
“He is done his time” 31 years for the lifes he took??
@MsMokgadi try saying that to the families of those kids and now he is out again to live amongst the kids again😢. No justice 28 deaths and walks free
Oh my word. I live in Parow. 😮what is wrong with the system
This is nuts!
This rapist serial killer was supposed to be given life without parole. Where is the judge who sentenced him?
My ex wife best friend who is a transgender has been grooming my son yet nothing up till now has ever been done SA BROKEN STATE
They keep showing Parow North. Is this where he is stationed with his cousin?
I want to know would this interview be taking place if he was released to Manenberg or Hanover Park? Nina bantu base Soth Africa niyaxaka. Do you know how many killers and rapists are released to go to Gugulethu? mnxim
Yha nhe....
Has anyone looked into the killings that were exactly the same that took place after he was caught? Maybe the case should be re-opened
Wait, what? there were more killing of the same nature after his arrest?
I think I may have read something like that but not entirely sure.
It's been over 30 yrs.
But something doesn't add up.
All the victims except Elroy was found in the dunes in Mitchells Plain
But what I don't get is when he lured Elroy from Strand & board a train sure there should've been more accurate witness description who were on that train & why make it so obvious & far from his supposed killing fields.

These were innocent children, no matter what his brother did to him he still killed innocent children; this is so wrong.
And with police that don't share any information on missing children and crimes, this blanket of secrecy protects criminals!!!!!!
Fact 👏 s there are millions of murders amongst us that we don't even know of.
How can he even be released?! I don't get it...the correctional system is clearly broken...he should have stayed in prison for life end of!
This is disturbing. This would get the death penalty in the states, but here this man is free once again??
Why release these people?
This PREDATOR should live out (undeservingly) the rest of his sentence behind bars, he is a clever chameleon, that will, as the statistics point out, most probably reoffend. There is something so sickeningly wrong with the justice system, why should innocent children, yet again, be put at risk
Outrageous…
No one that did prison time with this killer have a photos of him…
Video finished very abruptly. 😮
so a criminal gets protection , what about those victims where was their protection ?

@@meninpapinwhen did Jeffrey dahmer started killing kids?? Come on that says nothing of his age
Id deal with this guy for free...so why is it the people that know who he is are not exposing his identity
Show his picture everything this is public records!
How can all these people here in the posts and some in the video say they don't know what he looks like?? When there are LOTS of photos of him in Google images!!🙄
The police arent letting down their guard ???
Have you seen who the minister of police is ?
He can't speak English, how would we expect the saps to keep an eye out for him
Norman Simons was an esteemed member of a Mitchells Plain French class in the 1980s.
What??? Are they totally bonkers?
Our justice system is about correction and rehabilitation ,hence Wallus and Derby Wallus were realsed and no Carte Blanche abouts them so lets not be oversensationalists.
Scientific proof shows that peodophilles remain peodophilles how can he be set free
Shows that correctional service does nothing..entlik what works in this country vele?
Erin Bates remember he was not even charged for the 21other murdered
Check your facts
Last time bester got access to an electronic device, he planned and executed a daring escape tht embarrassed DCS😂😂😂 Do the really wanna go dwn tht route again? Now bester knows they dont knw how to extradite a prisoner😂😂😂

Why hide his face
Bad choice for Carte Blance!!!! Dies man!
