How is it relevant to the topic, though?

“You people are starting to peeve me.”

Oops.

Careful people. Brett has serious firepower!

If the NPA was capable of slam-dunking easy cases – like the one they lost in KZN – the blue-light bullies would not have dared terrorise Chumani.

Anyone heard of Makwanyane?

“they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere”

A statement to say he is sorry, made after his unlawful arrest, after police unlawfully pointed firearms at him (a crime in terms of the law, also by policemen), put a bag over his head (that is assault) and during his illegal detention. And to add insult to injury, police claim that they drove past the poor jogger at high speed, sirens blasting, windows closed, and they could actually hear every word he was saying! Every sergeant major in the army must dream of having a voice like that! In case of a trail I expect the judge will have to say: “That is so improbable, it can’t be reasonably possibly true.”

There is of course section 28 of the Criminal Procedure Act, making it a crime for a policeman to conduct an unlawful search. Nowhere did they say if the police had a warrant to search Maxwele’s house.

All of us should hang our heads in shame.

“Minister also raped at school of shame – ‘I fell pregnant and was expelled’”

“Deputy Minister of Public Works Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu was a pupil at the Filadelfia Secondary School for the visually impaired, hearing impaired and physically challenged pupils in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria.”

“I cannot believe it is still happening,” the minister said.

“I always wanted to tell my story. I was raped in 1989 while in Grade 8 and when I reported it to the school authorities and the then department of education and training, I was not taken seriously.”

“The inquiry into her case only took two days. ‘One afternoon, two days before my final exam, I was called to the office and told to leave.’

“She was furious because the school had failed her and allowed her alleged abuser to continue working at the school.

“The man, who is known to Sowetan, currently occupies a senior position at the Department of Basic Education.”

“Some of the victims, who fell pregnant as a result of the rapes, were expelled while their abusers kept their jobs at the school.

“Four of the alleged abusers are teachers, three are security guards and one a cook. Another teacher resigned in December after reportedly admitting to sexual misconduct.

“The rapes occurred when pupils and teachers were meant to attend morning assembly. The guards are accused of going to the girls’ dormitories.

“It is claimed the teachers under suspicion would bunk morning assembly and instead send pupils SMSes instructing them to report to class – where they were then abused.”

What the heck is this – since when is it the role of the Education departnemt to investigate child rape?????

“Education spokesperson Charles Phahlane had earlier said the department had issued letters to the alleged perpetrators to explain their versions of events “before the possible drawing up of a charge sheet”.

“Phahlane said the department was investigating ‘all allegations’, including that of the principal protecting the alleged perpetrators.”

[At least the State machinery was put to good use - putting the ordinary man in his place and making sure that he knew it.]
