Strange how they are always eager to make an 'arrest' when the community gets desperate enough to ki11 but never very interested in even making out a charge sheet when a r@pe occurs.

"She confronted him, but when the deceased denied the accusations, the mother allegedly screamed and mobilised members of the community."

**********************************************************************************************************
Why didn't she take her daughter for check ups? She could have been raped by someone else. What made her to suspect this man?

I think this woman had a score to settle with this man nje.

What if they killed the wrong guy? People must allow police do their job. I know are juctice systems are a bit slow, but the mob juctice is not a way to go. We need to be patient...

Zwelinzima Vavi talked about the ticking time bomb. The recent incidents (Bobby Motaung,Marikana Mine incident, Violent Students demonstrations, Killings in Msinga and other KZN areas) are a sign.

@DJ Winner

I may agree with you on this one, did the mother of this mentally ill daughter dependent on her for information??? He may be the rapist, but I am not fully convinced.

This is disturbing, how can you just believe anything said from a mentaly disturbed person, the women should have gone to the Police and doctors to check the facts, what if the Girl was never raped? is she going to say sorry to the dead man? shame, we dont think at times.

Don't ever mess with Kagiso community's. Although i dont support this behaviour of killing, hey this community is ruthless baba. Is like they all come from the same family. This is not the first nor the last, expect imminent killing soon again.

Mentally 'disabled' does not mean mentally 'ill'.
The girl has disability, she isn't a nutcase.

Mob justice is open to abuse. I favour the barbaric mob justice only if criminal is caught red handed.

What confirmation do they have that indeed the man r*aped that girl?Were there any medical evaluations that were conducted on the girl to confirm the r*ape?If they were so certain that he r*aped why not call the cosp?What if an innocent man has been k*illled?

Stupid community ek se.

I think this mob attack on the attacked man was unjustified in every way. The mother who screamed blue murder and the community had absolutely no proof of the man's crime, and they killed any way. This was simply wrong!!!

@KatakataEmaotoAditshepe

What i mean is did they prove that rape occured or they just took the mothers word and killed the man. i know of a case and one was actualy in the news, a niece accused the uncle of rape and he spent 8 years in jail but it turned that the uncle was a strict person so the aunt conspired with the neice, so they could get the house. in Tembisa a girl accused her boyfriend of rape because she was afraid to tell her parents she spent the weekend with the boy friend, the guy spent three months in hospital and is partialy blind now, If this guy did indeed rape then good riddance but what if hes dead because of a spat he had with the girls'mother?

So this means If your neighbour hates you,They can shout and scream amd you'll be killed. I belive in People's justice If and only If it is not assumed and those peoplea caught red handed.Is she really meantally ill or she was certified as mentally ill.The parent should know her whereabouts at all times.Amandla to PEOPLE's JUSTICe where applicable.It must come with terms and conditions.@Thulijudith,Like you already

obviously the woman had a score to settle with this man, as she did not follow the procedure in cases of rape. She should be charged with incitement to murder, and the DNA should be obtained from the rape victim. If the deceased is exonerated, all responsible for the stoning should be charged. Either way, there is no poetic justice
