The Democratic Alliance has expressed horror
at the murder that occurred in Bredasdorp last week.
DA
said the murder highlighted the urgency with which action against sexual
offences should be taken.
DA Piera Abbott said one of the critical
changes that must be made is the reinstatement of the specialized sexual offences
court, which has fallen away over the last few years.
Abbott said that this will certainly not
solve the rape crises on its own, she adds that it is vital to add a deterrent to
would be rapists.
Abbott adds that a clear message must be sent that rapists will be arrested and convicted if they commit this offence.
