Our society is sick. Our kids are being sexualised at an early age - which is not normal. I hope they find the sicko soon - 99% sure it is someone she knew. This kid could have become a scientist or doctor which our country needs.

This is just emotionally disturbing. How long should such killings of women and children happen in South Africa before this government becomes tougher with rapists and murderes??????

President,MECs,Premiers and other high ranking officials have bodyguards,their properties guarded by private security companies and son on. The best they could to protect South African citizens and foreign visitors/workers inside our borders is to be bring back death penalty. I don't buy this argument that death penalty will not deter criminals. It might not totally wipe away crime, but it decrease violent contact crimes dramatically.

Rest in Peace my Angel, I hope the perpetrator is found and dearly pay for what he (they) did. Lord have Mercy to the women and children of this beautiful country. Protect them against Satan's warriors.

One thing thios terrible story show is that teenagers are not emotionally mature enough fo rsexual relationships. The encouragement of teenage sex by the distribution of condoms must stop and the kids must be taught old fashioned values of abstinence again - until you are out of school at least.

@Shredder - sometimes one cannot help but to entertain the thoughts Sinudeity expressed, and it has all got to do with the kind of country the ANC governemnt has made us - they do not take morality seriously - remember how they made Zuma the leader of moral regeneration - whlile snubbing and actually ostracising people like Desmond Tutu ? All their actions have self interest and politics at its core - they are noit interestred in, or are not capable of providing moral leadership in this country.

I hear you Cornelius BUT even if all the girls were starting to have sex at age of 18 or 20 years, we have people who were born to destructive to the massive mankind.On Friday here on Sowetanlive we read of a 25 year old who was stabbed and kicked like a ball by her boyfriend in the broad day light and in front of neighbours, such ''boyfriends'' are people who don't deserve a second chance in life. Thats my view.

Shredder - Of course, sometimes you have to ask yourself the hard questions. Did we end apartheid, fight for freedom, merely to be free to rape 15 year olds, stab our buddies at school, rape grannies, rape our own mothers and sisters, murder babies... Iraq has a lower murder rate than South Africa, during war-time. Of the highest rape statistic in the world... The freedom to murder people who choose to work, when you choose to strike...

Is this why freedom was achieved? To rub and snub the freedom of other people?

The main thing is we cannot separate this event the political situation in our country.I still maintain the ANC government should carry the blame here.
Koster is one of the poor and under developed rural areas in the country.There are no recreational facilities in that area.There are no health care facilities,and if there is any clinic ,it will not be easily accessable.So you can imagine what happens in an area where alcohol and drug abuse is the only recreation.There are so many taverns and shebeens and people engage in unprotected alcohol induced sexual intercourse.Children at an early of 13 -15 are lured by men in engaging in sexual activities.Some of the kids are orphans whom their parents died of AIDS.Men exploit the situation and promise these kids money,hence we see so many rapes and killing of children in this area.So many icidents went unreported.
Lack of employment is the other main reasons,people resort to finding the easiest ways of getting money,hence increased levels of crime.
These children are not reporting the rapes because of lack of protection from the police and society.,they are afraid of the perpetrators.Corruption in the police force is another reason the children do not report these cases,because the perpetrators are known to be friends to the poilce.The stigmatization of rape is also another reasons these children do not report these cases ,they end being the victims of circumstances as is always the case in this country that women invited being raped by wearing miniskirts.

Yes in my immediate family, there are no 15 year olds with boyfriends/girlfriends. I have a 16 year old niece, who has never been on a date nor have dated. She knows who pays the bills and what is good for her... We lay the rules not the other way round......... democracy is at the Union Building/Cons. Court not in our household.

She does have friends (female) and they sometimes go to movies.......... one thing I can tell you is that she gets chaperoned at all times.......
