PROTECT THE RAPE VICTIMS

 South Africa is well-known country for its era of apartheid and freedom fighters like Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Steve Biko, and Chris Honey just to mention few. This people fought bravely for a better living for all South African citizens. But recently South Africa is known for its high rate of crime mostly rape. We are turning into a capital of rape. There are approximately 3 600 cases of rape reported everyday in our country, which means per year there is more than 1 million cases of rape.

What is the government doing about this? For me they are not doing enough a real outcry broke after the rape of the young Anenn Booysen who was gang raped and brutally murdered. Not a year has past and we again witness a brutal rape of Thandeka Madonsela who was mutilated and left for death. Most rape cases never make it to court and we will get excuses that there is less evidence to convict the rapists or the docket is missing. And this is a burden for all the rape victims who are denied the justice they deserve.

South Africa rape has escalated so much that even babies and grannies are rapped now. You find a 2 month baby rapped or a 98 granny rapped. Do you think this people deserve a chance to live with the community? Rape sentence in our country is 15 years of which i think its a slap on a wrist, all rapists deserve life sentence without parole, they deserve to rot in jail. Because in most cases some of the rapist go back for there victims after serving their sentence or attack other victims, so it’s crystal clear that they are not fit to live in a society. We should do everything to protect our rape victims no one asked for it and we do not know the pain they go through, so it is so easy for us to judge. I personally believe in an eye for an eye. If you rape a baby or granny then death penalty and life sentence fro those who rape teenagers and young women. This might be the solution to this entire epidemic
