Many have slammed Judge Masipa for issuing such verdict for such a hideous crime.

If #Pistorius was black & non-famous, he'd have got life imprisonment.

'Fallen hero'?
Try 'angry, gun-toting maniac'.
Judge behaved like a fan-girl & sentenced accordingly.
Disgusting. #pistorius— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 6, 2016
Some natives stole sweets worth R300 and were sentenced to 15 years in jail; #OscarPistorius kills Reeva, he gets sentenced to 6 years.

#OscarPistorius Let's hope the State appeals the sentence. The justice system has become a joke! 6 years!!!!

Six years. That's not justice for Reeva. That's a broken system & an incompetent judge justifying her own mistakes. #OscarPistorius

#OscarPistorius is sentenced to 6 years in prison.
I'm in disbelief.

I'll never understand the S.A justice system. How do you return sentencing to the judge who got it wrong in the 1st time #OscarPistorius

#OscarPistorius verdict of 6 years imprisonment by Judge Musipa is pathetic. Would she give the same verdict had he murdered her daughter?

Precedent has been set, right? Any disabled person convicted of Murder will get 6 years jail sentence surely? #OscarPistorius

What a disgrace – this isn't an athlete who 'made a mistake', this is a criminal who can run. #OscarPistorius https://t.co/HcGr5GcbIx
