EDITOR – It is more than enough now, rapists getting away [and] some getting lighter sentences. This breaks my heart and makes me scared as I am also female.
The rate of women being sexually abused is increasing day by day in South Africa and that shows how arrogant and damaged men in our country are. This does not only affect people who have done wrong but we end up looking at every male and not trusting any one of them.
My heart would be at ease if all rapists could get death penalties, no one amongst them deserves a second change. You cannot rape a person by mistake. It is enough now!
