The good news for Pumla Mkatali arrived too late. Two years may not be much sand within the hourglass of eternity, but it makes a big difference in a human lifetime.
A Pretoria judge ruled that she had the right to keep secrets from her husband. So, if she didn't want to tell him about the SMS (text message) she received late one night then she didn't have to share it ... no matter what their normal marital agreement was. That good news also arrived too late and in bad circumstances for her high ranking government official husband, David Linley Sonkosi. Perhaps if he had known the law he would not have beaten her to death because she wouldn't tell him who she got the message from or what it was about.
