There are consequences for everything , whether good or bad . A man aged 21 allegedly dragged and raped a grade 12 learner who was coming from school in Tsakane Village in Marite , which is near Bushbuckridge .Little did he know that he was going to pay with his life for the offence .The offence reportedly took place on the 2nd of April and he fled afterwards .
However , on Sunday , he was reportedly cornered by the raging residents who dragged him to the house of the alleged rape victim. After the victim allegedly identified him as her rapist, it marked the beginning of the end for the the alleged rapist .
This was because they assaulted him on the streets before leaving him for dead . When police made their way to the scene , they found the 21 year old who was identified as Jabu Mokoena deceased with injuries all over his body .
The South African law does not allow members of the community to take the law into its own hands . However , there are some things that may look good , although they may be bad .
The violation of children and women has been ongoing for quite a long time in South Africa . It is such that it looks like the justice system is not doing enough to protect the rights of women and children . Killers and rapists know that when they commit such crimes ,they will only be imprisoned for a couple of years and get back into the same societies . Imprisonment is not enough for rapists and killers .
It is high time the death sentence comes into the picture . Raping someone is like committing murder because an inner soul is killed during the process , hence the offence needs to be treated as being murder .
