@Maditaba,while I concur with you when you say Xolani Mbath "did not commit the crime on behalf of all black men" I have to remind you that most rapes in SA are committed by black males,yes,there are morally sane black males, and, we cannot use the excuse that black people are a majority in SA,so naturally they will commit these heinous crimes against their own.They do so,because they want to.

Who said only black people rape? Just visit any court and find out how many white people are prosecuted for rape. Just that, in most cases black people cases are written about in these newspapers. It is same like the fact that, because we have never heard anything about it, there is no crime, corruption or problems in USA or England. They don't show their washing outside like it happens with blacks and most of newspapers (white-owned with black journalists) prevent it from happening by sending journalist in black people areas for black people news.

Child molestation is a function of stupidity, not race. The problem is just as prevalent in white communities but what makes it worse in black communities is townships are densely populated so it is easier for predators in these areas to get victims.

We need to teach our kids to speak out as soon as an adult starts acting shadily. Teach your kids never to accept money or gifts in return for favours and definitely raise alarm as soon as an adult asks them to keep a secret or threatens them with violence.


The MO is always the same, kids should be empowered to spot a potential abuser miles away and to raise alarm before anything happens.

Yes but in the same breath we must do all we can to stop molestation in our communities. Saying the problem is not exclusive to blacks will not save a young girl being lured with sweets as we speak, it is inexcusable that a 32-year-old finds excitement in a girl as young as 8.
