Makhaphela felt it necessary to guide his workers in the worst possible way to eliminate this so-called problem, as Lily was shouting for food on the school's playground. Fortunately, a cleaner named Bukelwa Mbulawa decided to report what had happened to Mdzananda Animal Clinic, saving Lily's life. A week later, on October 20, 2011, the woman was fired.
Makhaphela was sued by the South African Revenue Service and brought before the Khayelitsha Magistrate's Court, where project director Jane Levinson provided counter-evidence.
Makhaphela was found guilty of mistreating, abusing, and neglecting animals. He was fined 6,000 rand, half of which was suspended for five years in exchange for him providing a project at the school to raise awareness of animal protection.
Although we know we need to keep a close eye on Makhaphela, we hope this is the beginning of justice for Lily. We do not know how long Lily can live, but we will never give up fighting for justice for her.
She is more concerned with being an example for future animal abuse cases than just being a dog.
