PETITION for S Africa
Apr 17, 2008
PLEASE share this onward~~~
Ever seen this one??? IT IS FALSE > Scroll down for explanation!!!

3 year old girl & 9-month-old baby. Last week a 3 year old girl in South Africa was beaten and raped . She is still alive. The man responsible was released on bail yesterday. He is walking the streets . If you are too busy to read this then just sign your name and forward this on. This is a very important petition. It is an essential part of the justice system for children. You may have already heard that there's a myth in South Africa that having sex with a virgin will cure AIDS. The younger the virgin, the more potent the cure. This has led to an epidemic of rapes by infected males, with the correspondent infection of innocent kids. Many have died in these cruel rapes. Recently in Cape Town , a 9-month-old baby was raped by 6 men. Please think about that for a moment. The child abuse situation is now reaching catastrophic proportions and if we don't do something, then who will? Kindly add your name to the bottom of the list and please pass this on to as many people as you know.
If you are signature no.: 1000 - please forward the mail-list to childprotectpca@saps.org.za
Please don't be complacent, do something about the kids of South Africa... You can make a difference. That child is fighting for life. This is just 1 of the million cases of child abuse, so please pledge your
support and help keep CPU (CHILD PROTECTION UNIT) open. Please give your support to the petition and ensure that it goes to as many people as possible. Please don't just leave it, make a difference . In order to write your name copy this message and paste it in a new mail (compose). Or click on forward and add your name to the list and send it on to others. Again, if you are number 1000 please send this to: childprotectpca@saps.org.za
The TRUTHS:
This email has been going around for years. These signatures make no difference what-so-ever. We checked into it with child services and the justice system in Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria and Capetown, and were all confirmed that these petitions do nothing. They don't even read them. What we really need are people on the streets demystifying the illness, the cures and making medications available. The law is useless there. Once aparteid was over, they released several hundred thousand prisoners from their jails. Africans from many other sub-saharan countries ran the borders prior to the first elections, to make certain that the ANC got in, then they had been promised free homes and lands that used to belong to the whites. It has caused a nightmare in criminal control and justice. Basically the non criminals have to bar themselves in their homes and the criminals run free. It's a downward spiraling problem...with a great deal of animosity on both sides (white and blacks) escalating. The "Truth and Reconciliation Committees" from the mid 90's were a great idea, but didn't actually work to calm 40 years (more like hundreds of years) of oppression...and now retaliation. The biggest problem is education. As long as the shamans, witch doctors, and juju men/women are the primary care givers for medical treatments in the rural areas and the "townships" (the term used to refer to the tenements and shantytowns in the cities) these kinds of attrocities continue. The current government cares not a whip about petitions. Sadly since Mandella retired, there is no one else with his leadership and character to replace him.  It is heading the way of Zimbabwe I'm afraid. SO many people (whites) are trying to get out of the country before all hell breaks loose - that there is a terrible 'brain drain".

On occasion I'll get an e-mail from someone who says they've just received a telescope as gift and while they've enjoyed looking at the moon and the planet Jupiter or Venus with it, they really would love to get a view of Saturn.
