Below is the 'Fact-a-Day' received on 03 October 2008:
This week's Fact-a-Day theme: Battle of the sexes
79% of South African men agree with the statement 'The death penalty should be reinstated in South Africa for serious crimes like murder and rape'. 83% of women also agree. (AMPS 2008RA)
I would fall into that category - particularly with regard to the horrific child rape statistics and the apparent relish with which rapes are committed as a matter of course during household burglaries. Rapists seem to have a blatant lack of fear of any consequences - for good reason in this country.
How do you feel about it?
