| destroyed by selfish acts |
As if it is not disturbing enough to read about a girl who was raped at the age of 12, we know have to read about a 17-year old girl who was gang raped by seven men between the ages of 14 and 20. is it not distgusting to discover that this is the third time it has happened to the very same girl? The worst part of this matter is how the media is reacting towards such an act. Is there no lwas to regulate how the rights and dignity of rape victims can be protected on news channels and newspapers.
Is it right for a woman to be sexually exploited in such a manner, to be a rape victim at the age of 12? This is not the time to start blaming others but ourselves. How does one wake up in the early hours of the morning, walk the streets of his community and rape an innocent girl just because its fun and that he can.

| 7 men who raped a 17 year old girl bet |
Our country has changed drastically. Instead of reading about the success of a man or how students from South Africa are being send out to overseas to further their education we now read headlines such as "Son Rapes Mother", "Girl Raped By Minor" even "Nations Shame". The nation should feel ashamed that rape has allowed itself to become a lifestyle in peoples minds; a trend of some sort.
People are busy preaching "Stop Rape", has that concept really worked, take a look at where we are when coming to this act of selfishness. What happens to a rapist; they are slapped with a law suit, a few years sentence or even a lousy bail and thats the end of that.

One should question the justice system of South Africa when coming to rape and does "guilty" really make someone rethink their actions. Why are people allowing rape to control a womans movement and tearing down their dignity?
If government can bring back life sentence to the rapist , the rape rate will decrease.
ReplyDeletemaybe that will work but what if the person did not commit the crime?
DeleteThe worst thing about it ts that the people will not feel any remorse after raping someone, what happened to the spirit of ubuntu?
ReplyDeleteOur government need to work on how they instill discipline in this country.
ReplyDeleteNokuthula with enough evidence dont you think it would work i mean we not asking for the death sentence.Lucky i dont think that it would decrease because rapists just pop up from anywhere.
ReplyDeleteHazel i think its time for this country to go back to the drawing board and see what democracy is all about and haing the power of freedom given to Black people....
lets hope that serious sentencing will be given to these men so that people can see the seriouseness when coming to rape
How can they stop raping our sisters, mothers, aunts and so on when they know very well that they are not going to be punished for their barbaric acts. I was watching the news (Sunrise)there is a girl who was raped and the people who raped her got R500.00 BAIL, so its like they are paying the judge to commit such crimes! Because that is what always happens, YOU RAPE THEN PAY FOR DOING SO (BAIL)
ReplyDeletein your opinion what do you think the rapists deserved? But i do agree with you, what does them recieving bail say? that rape is ok just pay for your "good deed"?..But what else did we expect this is the South Africa we are living in, some one will always go unpunished...but still it doesnt make it right.
