The Congress of South African Trade
Union said it is sickened by the rape and murder of an 8-year-old in Uniondale on
Friday.
Cosatu has joined the South African
Democratic Teachers Union in calling for the harshest sentences for those found
guilty of committing dreadful acts of rape and abuse committed against women
and children.
Cosatu Spokesperson Patrick Craven said
the murder of this defenseless eight-year-old illustrates why we need a
campaign like the 16 days of activism of no violence against women and
children.
“It will make us more determined to
support this campaign so that we can put a stop to these brutal crimes against
women and children which are particularly bad in South
Africa ” Craven added.
