'Law of the jungle' persists in SA: MPs weigh in on Ramaphosa's GBV address

Mente zoomed in on policing shortcomings, saying rape, abuse and murder of women had been a normalised over many decades in rural areas and townships where black people lived and where they has never been adequate law enforcement.

This, she said, had been made possible by the colonial and apartheid states - and continued by the ANC government. Mente also lambasted police who sent victims home to resolve matters with their families."You cannot tell women who are being abused to go and sort it out in the family. As a result, you need a psychological shift in the police and law enforcement in general that says the state has a duty to enforce the law - even against the wishes of parents and partners who withdraw cases because the husband feeds them," she said.

But CyrilRamaphosa will pay you off with his billion rands proposal, satafrikan women are reduced to prostitute

This theory that you think that you own someone is a very big problem.

So?

They stole our land by convincing us that our land doesn't belong to us. Now stupid politicians have captured our social sphere by fostering a democracy without social justice. We deserve social justice, we demand social justice.

Ramaphosa wants law that will prevent rape, murder suspects released on bail | IOL NewsPresident Cyril Ramaphosa has called on Parliament to urgently pass a law that will prevent suspects charged with rape and murder to be granted bail. Strengthen existing measures? What measures? The fact that we are trying to deal with the end (sanction/punishment) & not the beginning (broken homes/society) & middle (policing - SAPS) is the problem. Further, our courts will not agree to such, so let’s not waste more time pursuing an outcome we already know. This will do more harm than good. Rather make sure: 1) police and prosecutors are properly trained in supporting victims, 2) all stations have rape kits, 3) clear the DNA testing backlog. 4) Specialised sexual crimes courts (worked for SWC2010, can work for sexual offences)
