She must never go back to that house, it is sad what Orphans go through in this Country, many of them are suffering and they feel lonely, I wish I can take her to my house and care for her. People of SA Listen " God will never forgive you for neglecting the Orphans, the weak. the sick and the hungry" Let us please help these kids

I really feel her pain so heart-breaking you'd think that a 20yr old is old enough to know the pain of losing those close to you and protect her since they are related but he raped her added to her suffering and pain am just too sad honestly

I was listening to Metro Fm last nite about a 5yr old boy that was sodomised by his neighbour, I was in tears and so disgusted when I heard that the perpetrator was released on bail and this is after the court was left in tears by his testimony and still the bustard was granted bail I mean why now? He is scared and fragile when asked if he could recognize the guy, he said yes and that he will run away I mean is this how our kids should grow with sooo much fear haai so sickening Justice system is failing us

Rape incidents will continue UNLESS the condemnation comes from the 1st resident of Mzansi, Zuma. I wish other parents were this observant as well, and take action even if its not your child. This 20 year old must serve jail term not less than 15 years.

The problem unfortunately is deep rooted and a lot of factors are involved in it. firstly: its the issue of not being loved as a child and the parents don't care about their kids. Im a teacher, trust me i know.
secondly: apartheid has taught us that we are not humans, we are sub humans that are inferior. unfortunately we believe this as a nation but it cant all be blamed on apartheid of course, but it has achieved what it was suppoed to do, destroy the black mans mind with alcohol, drugs, running after status and girls
thirdly:our leadership is corrupt to the core and there are a lot of MP's, premiers, councellors e.t.c who have been involved in questionable encounters with women, this child unfortunately is just following what his elders are doing
Here is a cry for help batho ba mzasi, we have already failed the girl, will we fail the boy as well? by the way jail is just as bad as allowing the boy to be on the streets and rape more girls!
Here is a challenge for you Mr. President in your protected, fenced, lavish life in union buildings with your wives and kids!

Those in favour of abolishment of capital punishment, should examine the facts of how exceedingly evil a person must be to rape and murder a 9 year old child. What has happened people to caring about the innocent - @$%* THE GUILTY.

Unfortunately, here in South Africa, we have no more national identity - Whites are them, blacks are us and nobody else belongs here. THIS IS RUBBISH - my family came to S.A. in 1656 and despite all written rubbish - there were no black people in Cape Town. The Xhosa people were a part of the Zulu NATION which had in fact come from Zimbabwe. to this country, I resent being called a settler by idiots as my personal family have been here longer than the entire Xhosa nation has existed.

I love ALL all ALL MY fellow SOUTH AFRICANS AND IT IS TIME TO FORGET THE PAST AND BUILD TO THE STUNNING future WE CAN HAVE AS the POWERHOUSE of AFRICA.
