@MEC Florence Radzilani
You mean criminals had a right to brutally killed those innocent kids because their mothers did not take care of them, that’s bull????? We need justice for those kids, and we need to accept that South Africa is full of criminal’s that they really don’t have hearts.
========================================
I thought those kids were orphan? What kind of Mother Mpho Kekana is, she goes around opening her leg but can’t take care of her kids? What kind of mothers who neglects their kids???.
I will rather suffer to death with my kids unlike giving them as a packets of sweets noo? .SOME MOTHERS DOENST DESERVE TO BE CALLED MOTHERS BUT B#TCHES

SA for you,
We always go yada! yada! yada! like loose canons.
A child is killed at infancy, we blame the mother "Why was it not given up for forster care?"
A child dies while under forster parenting we still blame the mother...
@Kgaoza606 you 100% percent correct and this Radzilani thing if she wants to make a name for herself she must first employe this poor woman so that in future she can be able to take care of her children. Ppl just talk s***ht even though they have no idea how others are suffering,all they do is still our money and be able to take care of their own children and think they are better than the other voetsek ke masepa.

'investigations to determine what had happened and also what measures could be taken to prevent a recurrence of the atrocity'
Initial reports said that they were orphans - apparently not, but the mothers had handed them over because they couldn't take care of them!
What does that tell you? The root of many of our problems in SA is that having children is too easy, and not taking proper care of them seems to be the general norm.
When getting a pet from the SPCA, your home and circumstances get inspected, and if not up to scratch, you don't get the dog/cat.
But it is different for having children in SA - anyone, and everyone can have one,two, three, many, and often by different men, who are not in the picture at all.
Something wrong with this picture, isn't there? Report Abuse

For heaven sake the poor woman gave-up her children, that does tells everyone gore she was suffering and she needed them to cared for now ppl like Tobby blames her, guys life is dificult in this country specialing for us citizens as our government has let us down. I can tell you during the strugles days our parents would strike and get what they need while suffering but today is worse and even if we try fight what is rightfully ours we get an assssssss...........or middle finger and it ends there. Guys the problem which we have in this country derives from our government causing a lot of stress across the nation hence the TRT/ police behaviour and compare it 5 decades ago, teachers being disrespected by their own studends and after get blamed by the government using the public, government employees getting no promotions or proper salaries even if they deserve it.

As much as it was the responsibility of the mother to care for her children but since she couldn't she did an noble thing to give them away to people who will care for them.It is however impossible that kids of the same family can be kidnapped and murdered out of coincidence.Police please do a thorough job and start by the family and relatives there is a motive here.

How are the mothers to blame if the kids weren't even in their care?
Does this mean that if a child goes to school and gets attacked that the mother is to blame because she didn't follow the kid around all day?
Sometime circumstances occur where a parent is incapable of looking after their child. The Child Care homes are full of them. That doesn't mean that the kid deserves to die.
Maybe if the MEC DID HER BLOODY JOB then kids who have the bad luck to have crappy parents and kids who have the good luck to have good parents wouldn't ALL be in danger Report Abuse

@Sjamolelo i much agree with you but if you can put your facts and source out the problem you will clearly see gore this country has let most of its provinces down, no schools/ teratiary institutions in most parts of other provinces with Mpumalanga toping so you can't blame ppl from there as if they don't pay tax, JHB is what it is because of whites if it was not for them Zuma will just leave it like that, like what he is doing now. So if ppl from limpopo graduated or got education from somewhere don't blame them barata go rutega like any other person, but you check most guys at JHB are un educated mostly thugs but how many schools are there?

I'm sorry South Africans, but the minister deserves it. The poor woman gave her children up, thinking they will be well taken care of. Some bustard man gave her kids and ran away, where is the father when she is suffering with the kids alone? And to those who did this horrible did to those kids I hope the police catch them and bring them to me I'll castrate them and make them to eat them raw. (DOGS)
I will like express my sympathy to the mother who is experiencing grief, loss and pain, especially on horrible death of her children. No one should experience such a lost @ once that’s too much.
@All guys i know that this kids were mudered brutally by stoning and the 12 yr old was raped before, but honestly the MEC is out of order by pointing fingers at the mother who obviuosly is grieving for her children even if she gave them up (blood is thicker than water), she is just too hush and ignorent as she is ignoring the fact that the poor woman gave them up for those kids to have a better life, my belief is this kids tried to escape and find their way back woman when they maet thei ultimate death.

Protecting children is a basic job of government; In The Name Of
Hosea Richard Kekana 10-years-old, Johanna Kekana, 12-year-old and Bafana Kekana 9-year-old.
It is shameful to blame the parents in part for the youngsters’ deaths. Those children have been placed under government protection, that makes you and your workers a legal parent of the children. At the time of the disappearance and deaths of the children, the Kekana families no longer had an authority over their children, children were brutally murdered under government protection. You said it was unacceptable for parents not to fulfil their responsibility, you are right, Ms.Mogotlane, and in this story you are legal parents of Hosea, Johanna and Bafana.
I hope children protective services and government would step up and take on their responsibilities, those innocent children at least deserve justice. Report Abuse

Why in SA is it every bodies fault except the criminals?Then we must ask why do we have so many criminals?
Must we then look at the Justice system?
Must we look at the people who is supposed to be an example?

@MEC Florence RadzilaniYou mean criminals had a right to brutally killed those innocent kids because their mothers did not take care of them, that’s bull????? We need justice for those kids, and we need to accept that South Africa is full of criminal’s that they really don’t have hearts.

'investigations to determine what had happened and also what measures could be taken to prevent a recurrence of the atrocity'Initial reports said that they were orphans - apparently not, but the mothers had handed them over because they couldn't take care of them!
What does that tell you? The root of many of our problems in SA is that having children is too easy, and not taking proper care of them seems to be the general norm.
When getting a pet from the SPCA, your home and circumstances get inspected, and if not up to scratch, you don't get the dog/cat.
But it is different for having children in SA - anyone, and everyone can have one,two, three, many, and often by different men, who are not in the picture at all.
Something wrong with this picture, isn't there?

I can tell you during the strugles days our parents would strike and get what they need while suffering but today is worse and even if we try fight what is rightfully ours we get an assssssss...........or middle finger and it ends there. Guys the problem which we have in this country derives from our government causing a lot of stress across the nation hence the TRT/ police behaviour and compare it 5 decades ago, teachers being disrespected by their own studends and after get blamed by the government using the public, government employees getting no promotions or proper salaries even if they deserve it.This********country**********is********seriuosly*************a***********banana*********republic.

As much as it was the responsibility of the mother to care for her children but since she couldn't she did an noble thing to give them away to people who will care for them.It is however impossible that kids of the same family can be kidnapped and murdered out of coincidence.Police please do a thorough job and start by the family and relatives there is a motive here.Report Abuse

How are the mothers to blame if the kids weren't even in their care?Does this mean that if a child goes to school and gets attacked that the mother is to blame because she didn't follow the kid around all day?
Sometime circumstances occur where a parent is incapable of looking after their child. The Child Care homes are full of them. That doesn't mean that the kid deserves to die.
Maybe if the MEC DID HER BLOODY JOB then kids who have the bad luck to have crappy parents and kids who have the good luck to have good parents wouldn't ALL be in danger

My Message to ; mayor of the Mookgophong Sarah Monyamane,mayor of the Waterberg Rosina Mogotlane and Florence Radzilani member of the executive councilProtecting children is a basic job of government; In The Name Of
Hosea Richard Kekana 10-years-old, Johanna Kekana, 12-year-old and Bafana Kekana 9-year-old.
It is shameful to blame the parents in part for the youngsters’ deaths. Those children have been placed under government protection, that makes you and your workers a legal parent of the children. At the time of the disappearance and deaths of the children, the Kekana families no longer had an authority over their children, children were brutally murdered under government protection. You said it was unacceptable for parents not to fulfil their responsibility, you are right, Ms.Mogotlane, and in this story you are legal parents of Hosea, Johanna and Bafana.
I hope children protective services and government would step up and take on their responsibilities, those innocent children at least deserve justice.
