RAPE IS THE CRIME OF VIOLENCE

It's a tragic to what have happened in the Bredasdorp, Western Cape.  Anene Booysen, 17, was brutally rape and mutilated, in Bredasdorp in the early hours of Saturday last weekend.  The teenager was found by the security guard, on the construction side.  He then alerted the authorities, she later died at Tygerberg Hospital.

Police have arrested three men in connection of gang rape and the brutal murder of Anene Booysen.   Amongst the men, it is believed that the 23-years-old is Booysen's ex-boyfriend.  Every four minute a person is raped in South Africa.  Same thing happened in India, the 23-year-old woman was gang raped and beaten to death.  Due to the fatal injuries, she died in China hospital.  Why,When and How men rape? Rachel Jewkes, a Medical Research Council say men rape because they want  control, women wear short things, and women's body are made for men! Early childhood shows that men who rape were abused when they were kids.  Adding that, a woman who breaks off with her boyfriend is likely for her to be raped, by the ex-lover.

"Men who rape don't show remorse",said Sonke Gender Justice.  They meet with the perpetrators in various prisons, to hear their reasons why they rape? They reviewed that, 76% men show no remorse at all and hatred towards women in general.  Wow! what about the 34%? The Justice System must look at this carefully, give a harsh punishment and #stoprape.  The story that mad headlines last week, a Limpopo 'sangoma'(traditional healer), who married 13-year-old girl.  Apparently the teenager suffers from an epilepsy, what do you make of this ha? Its abuse,sexual abuse "rape'" for heaven sake! It's a crime.  The family, why on the first place allowed this to happen.

Anin Boysen will be buried today> so sad.... May Her Soul Rest in Peace.

  1. #nowiknow sexual offenders are not publicized in South Africa. Evey four minute a person is raped in South Africa. Here is the problem, Boys, Brothers, Uncles&Fathers rape and molest their children, sisters, nieces, mothers, cousins, daughters even grandmothers. Is then kept a secret in the family, it doesn't stop...a continuous thing #stoprape
