SA steps up land reforms

2007-3-10 08:55

Kimberly - The South African government was set Saturday to take possession of the first farm to be expropriated in a move designed to silence criticism it is dragging its feet over land reform.

Land commission agents, along with the chief claims commissioner Thozi Gwanya, will descend on Pniel Farm near the diamond mining town of Kimberley to meet with the outgoing owners from the Lutheran Church as well as briefing the dozens of tenants who will stay put on the 25 000 hectare property.

The farm was to have changed hands on March 15 but the outgoing owners have decided to leave without fuss and downplayed their disagreements with the government after failing to reach agreement on the sale after nearly four years of negotiations.

Until now, the South African government has been trying to meet its target of settling nearly 7 000 rural land claims dating back to the apartheid era before a self-imposed deadline at the end next year on a "willing buyer, willing seller model" but it has grown frustrated at the slow pace of negotiations.

Differences led to hard line

According to Bongani Zulu, general secretary of the Lutheran Church in South Africa, there was agreement on the sale price of R35.5m but differences over interest had proved insurmountable and the government had then taken a hard line.

"The whole process was managed in a proper way, except that we did not agree on the interest clause," he told AFP. "It was not a big issue but the state decided to make it a big issue which ended up in expropriation."

Agriculture and Land Affairs Minister Lulu Xingwana approved the expropriation order on February 13 following a pledge by President Thabo Mbeki in his state of the nation address earlier in the month to devote an "extra effort" to addressing the land ownership issue in the post-apartheid era.

The government has been inviting restitution claims in order to redress apartheid-era land grabs in which many members of the black majority lost ancestral holdings which were often then sold on to different owners, such as the Lutherans.

Any redistribution of land will only take place once the restitution process has been settled.

Seeking a fair price

In an interview with AFP last year, Gwanya said all the government wanted was to pay a fair price.

"We are not talking seizures here because we are willing to pay a price for the land but it must be a just amount, not inflated sums."

A recent editorial in the Business Day newspaper said any suggestion the government was embarking on "a Zimbabwe-style land grab is patently not true."

"That the expropriation at Pneil is the first of its kind, coming only now that a stalemate has been reached after lengthy negotiations, indicates the government's respect for the rule of law and its reluctance to us the state's overwhelming power," it added.

However there are signs that the authorities may be abandoning their conciliatory approach with six farms in northern Mpumalanga being threatened with as yet unsigned expropriation notices.

Over R100m spent to guard cops

2007-3-10 11:59

Johannesburg - The safety and security ministry has spent over R100m for private security to patrol premises of the South African Police Services (SAPS) in 2005 and 2006, the Saturday Star newspaper reported on Saturday.

In a written response to Democratic Alliance MP Donald Lee,
Minister Charles Nqakula said this was done so as to make it possible for police to fight and prevent crime.

"The SAPS makes use of private security to free fully trained police officers to perform their core function - preventing and combating crime.

Private security is employed for access control purposes and to safeguard property," he said.

Nqakula said that all security firms were hired on a contractual basis and that an internal investigation found that the outsourcing of staff was more cost effective.

Police spokesperson Vishnu Naidoo said private security firms were contacted to help police at major events while they also guarded police stations and some government buildings.

The CIA & ANC Want to provoke a Boer Uprising now:

ANC PROVOCATION

[Hi Alan,

Your are completely right. All those PROVOCATEUR BASTARDS and secret MOLES have crawled out of their holes in the last 2 weeks and they're all busy now.

I am more convinced than ever before... I think a *HUGE* intelligence operation (the likes of which we've not seen under ANC rule) is underway RIGHT NOW trying to take the writings of Adriaan Snyman and to use it as a weapon against Afrikaners - to not only damage Adriaan Snyman but to also provoke Boers into some action.

There is something which is making me wonder if the CIA could be involved in this too. They want to keep the ANC in power.

A lot of scabs are working with the ANC, etc. All I am going to remember from this my friend is all the people who ran around trying to make me believe:-

(a) Nelson Mandela is dead.
(b) The Night of the Long Knives is at hand.

This is aimed at discrediting Adriaan Snyman on the one hand, and also at hurting Afrikaners and Whites in general when the subsequent CIA/ANC media campaign hits the airwaves of planet earth.

I will be waiting for the liars... when this is over. I will remember each and every one of them - and will be reminding *EVERYBODY* constantly - when this is over.

Alan, I am beside myself with anger and sheer rage at the moment.

Let me say once more, I think these bastards are targetting Adriaan Snyman... and trying to mislead ordinary Afrikaner people.

I've fought the best fight I can, in the face of overwhelming odds. Now I must sit back and watch to see how the PROVOCATEUR STEAM ROLLER moves forward and tries to lure Afrikaners into a trap - a pre-prepared trap which, for those who fall for it... means a stint in jail.

I did my *UTMOST* to try to help some people. Jan]

Hello Jan

You say:

The more I look at it, the more I think the ANC wants an Afrikaner uprising and THEY WANT IT NOW IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY A CRACKDOWN ON THE AFRIKANERS. (Folks, you really should read Government by Deception because I discuss all these tricks a lot and give historical examples of this). Once, the Russians under Lenin, sent in agents to stir up an uprising in a village. Once they had got the uprising going ... they sent in the Red army and killed everyone!!

Prison overcrowding 'shocking'

10/03/2007 22:41 - (SA)


'Crime is oppressing us' ...no more Protection.

A parliamentary committee touring prisons and police stations in KwaZulu-Natal found 300% overcrowding at some facilities, a member of the committee said on Saturday.

"We found that facilities established to accommodate 1 000 prisoners had some 3 000 of them," said Chris Ntuli member of the National Council of Provinces Select Committee on Safety, Security and Constitutional Affairs.

He said the number of youngsters or juvenile offenders in KwaZulu Natal prisons was also "shocking".

"There are so many arrested, particularly youngsters - thousands of them, most awaiting trial, it?s shocking."

Juvenile offenders, incarcerated for petty offences and still awaiting trial, were mixed with hardened juvenile offenders which was also worrying, said Ntuli.

He did sympathise with those manning the prisons, courts and police stations as they lacked adequate facilities and the capacity to improve the situation.

The findings were made by the committee during a three day visit, from March 6 to March 9, to police stations, prisons and courts across the province.

The visit included stops at the Westville Prison and regional courts and police stations in Umlazi, Tongaat, Chatsworth, Wentworth, Umbumbulu and Phoenix.

Office spaces at courts was sparse and most were old and run-down - with one court stationed at an old school, said Ntuli.

A shortage of personnel was another problem in many police stations and at some courts.

Another problem was the lack of community involvement with the police.

"The ... police are just working in isolation. This is one of the main problems."

The committee would compile a report on their findings which would be presented to parliament and debated in due course.

The men who sold the white people on a silver platter to the ANC says now from safe and cozy London..........

Non-blacks second class

2007-3-11 08:02

London - South Africa's last apartheid-era president, FW de Klerk, said that non-blacks in the country feel like "second class" citizens in an interview with Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper.

"The implementation of affirmative action has led to a substantial percentage of not only Afrikaners, but of all whites and coloureds and Indians feeling that their groups are being reduced to a sort of second class citizenship," he told the paper.

De Klerk, credited alongside Nelson Mandela with managing a peaceful transition to democracy in the early 1990s, also said that, on one level, crime in South Africa was "out of control".

His comments came despite current President Thabo Mbeki's insistence that most South Africans do not believe it is.

"If the definition is that we have fallen into a state of anarchy, then crime isn't out of control," said De Klerk.

"If the definition is that it's extremely serious and that the rate at which violent crime is committed in South Africa is unacceptable, then it is out of control."

Part of the problem in dealing with crime lays in affirmative action measures, which have led to the loss of experienced staff in the police, prosecution service and elsewhere, he said.

"In this drive of racially-based affirmative action, the country lost that experience and expertise," he added.

De Klerk, 70, stressed that the constitution in post-apartheid South Africa was based on a "non-racial state".

He added that affirmative action would be unconstitutional if it became "institutional racial discrimination" and that this stage had been reached in some municipalities and state departments.

But Mbeki was committed to tackling crime :D, De Klerk said, adding he was convinced that a "relatively moderate" figure would succeed him in elections in 2009.

Posh armoured Mercedes S600 for Zulu king

2007-3-11 12:01

Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini wants a new, imported state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz S600 at a cost of more than R1 million to the taxpayer.

Zwelithini's desired German luxury saloon is powered by a V12 bi-turbo engine producing monster power of 380kW and a stump-pulling 830Nm of torque.

The car is capable of dashing from 0-100km/h in under five seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h.

The head of the Zulu household department, Vusi Shongwe, told the royal household portfolio committee last week that Zwelithini's current armoured Mercedes-Benz was unreliable and that the king needed a new set of wheels.

Shongwe told City Press that Zwelithini almost arrived at the opening of the provincial legislature recently in a 1984 jalopy because his current armoured vehicle had a problem. But fortunately it was fixed in time for the legislature opening.

Shongwe said Zwelithini also wants his new car's interior to be decorated with the Zulu Kingdom's emblem and fitted with a flag holder at the front.

Among optional equipment that comes with the car is night-vision technology - a system that assists the driver to see beyond the headlights during night time particularly for hazardous objects such as animals and pedestrians in dark clothes.

In December Zwelithini handed over six new Mercedes E-Class cars to his six queens, costing the taxpayer more than R2m.

Shongwe denied that the king's new vehicle will be armoured and will cost R1.6 million as reported, saying that amount would include maintenance of the new vehicle and the current armoured Mercedes-Benz.

Opposition parties have in the past slammed Zwelithini's expensive lifestyle at taxpayers' expense.

The provincial government is in the process of establishing a trust that will look after his needs.

But Zwelithini has already expressed his concern about the trust, saying though he is not against it, he would like the government department that looks after his $$$$ interests to remain in place.

Zimbabwe bars anti-Mugabe rally

2007-3-11 11:02

Harare - Armed Zimbabwe riot police sealed off a stadium on Sunday ahead of an opposition prayer meeting which officials have banned, calling it a political protest against President Robert Mugabe.

Teams of police officers, many of them armed with shotguns and tear gas canisters, patrolled around the stadium in the Harare township of Highfield, where riot police clashed with opposition supporters last month.

Organisers of the prayer meeting, sponsored by a coalition of opposition, church and civic groups, have said they plan to go ahead with the rally despite police warnings on Saturday that it would not be permitted.

Shop owners in the area shuttered their stores and some employed private security guards, while hundreds of people wandered the streets under the gaze of police units.

Police spokesperson Wayne Bvudzijena on Saturday accused the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) of hiring and arming "thugs" to attack police, and warned that security forces would be "fully deployed" to prevent the prayer rally.

"As far as we are concerned that is a political rally ... and we are going to stop that meeting," he told a news conference.

Officials imposed a three-month ban on political protests and rallies after last month's violence, which saw riot police use water cannon and teargas to break up an MDC rally state media said was intended to launch street protests against Mugabe's government.

The MDC says it has been a victim of a "dirty tricks" campaign by the government in which its officials are accused of violent crimes committed by ruling party youth brigades.

Mugabe, 83 and in power since independence in 1980, dismisses the MDC as a puppet of Zimbabwe's former colonial master Britain which opposes him for seizing white-owned commercial farms to give to blacks.

ANC 'must repay Kebble millions

'2007-3-11 17:14

Johannesburg - Trustees of Brett Kebble's estate had issued notices of demand to the African National Congress to repay millions it had received from the slain mining magnate, the Sunday Times reported.

The notices, issued in November after in-camera sequestration hearings, demanded the return of "R24m in stolen money paid to the ANC and leading members from Kebble's personal account between 2002 and 2005".

Both the ANC and the Democratic Alliance were recipients of money Kebble had stolen from shareholders, the newspaper said.

The trustees had demanded R2.4m from the ANC in the Western Cape; R750 000 from the ANC in the Eastern Cape; R6m from the ANC Youth League; R14m from youth league member Lunga Ncwana and R860 000 from league committee member Songezo Mjongile.

The ANC did not want to repay the money and had appointed lawyers to negotiate with the trustees, the newspaper said.

Four senior ANC officials were questioned about the Kebble money at a secret sequestration hearing at the Wynberg magistrate's court last August.

The ANC told the hearing that the money was a donation (bribery)and not refundable, the report said.

Indirect benefit

The party argued that Kebble received an indirect benefit in that his mining company was seen as sympathetic to the ANC, which he used to his advantage in pursuing BEE transactions.

The trustees were not convinced by the explanation and demanded that the money be paid back.

Ncwana told trustees that he used part of the R14m to buy two properties in Cape Town - one for himself for R4.7m and one for his mother for R1.2m.

He said the balance was paid to the ANC Youth League to organise its national conference in 2004.

Ncwana and Mjongile said they were entitled to receive the money as payment for services rendered to Kebble's company JCI.

They were among 29 people raided by the Scorpions last week.

The newspaper said the Scorpions had turned their attention to payments made to political parties.

When asked to comment, ANC spokesperson Smuts Ngonyama told Sapa: "I know nothing about that - the ANC wouldn't be able to comment on that."

When asked about the senior party officials reportedly at the sequestration hearing, Ngonyama said it was "a matter of individuals" that had got "nothing to do with the ANC".

DA repaid R250 000

DA spokesperson James Selfe said his party had been approached by the trustees and had repaid R250 000 that it had received.

"We were satisfied that the money had been received improperly and we have repaid the money in full and final settlement to the trustees."

The money had been received from a front company that "was quite clearly the recipient of money that had been improperly taken from JCI and other companies".

"We simply decided to pay the money back."

Cape Town - Refugees who fled war-torn Somalia in search of safety and a better life in South Africa now fear becoming the next victims in a string of murders of their compatriots in the Cape peninsula.

"They hate us here. With no third alternative, I prefer to return to Somalia and take my chances there."

US, Europe 'plunder Africa oil'

2007-3-12 10:43

Beijing - China defended its booming oil trade with Africa on Monday, and said Europe and the United States should look at their own engagement on the continent before criticising Beijing.

China has huge oil investments in Sudan, and rights groups say its engagement there is frustrating international efforts to stop the civil war and atrocities in Darfur.

Africa as a whole accounts for more than one-third of China's crude imports, with Angola its biggest source on the continent.

"What China has done for Africa is out of a sincere feeling, out of friendship from the bottom of the heart forged in past decades, but I have heard some criticism," Commerce Minister Bo Xilai told a news conference on the sidelines of China's parliament.

"An important criticism is that China is taking oil from Africa, but according to statistics, last year, of Africa's total oil exports, China took 8.7%. Europe took 36% and the United States 33%.

"If importing 8.7% means exploitation, how about 36% and 33%?" he asked.

China has made Africa a centrepiece of its diplomacy, seeking access to energy and resources on the continent to feed its rapidly expanding economy, as well as the strategic benefits that come with the backing of Africa's 53 countries at the United Nations.

Chinese President Hu Jintao offered Africa $5bn in loans and credit during a China-Africa summit in Beijing last year.

He followed up by announcing ahead of a trip there last month that China would lend $3bn in preferential credit over three years and double aid and interest-free loans.

Hu's eight-nation tour also included a visit to Sudan, where he offered an interest-free loan of 100m yuan for it to build a new presidential palace and wrote off up to $70m in Sudanese debt to China.

The blitz of aid and investment has led to criticism from Western aid groups who say China is encouraging corruption and misrule by failing to demand conditions.

But Bo rejected such charges, saying China's engagement was helping the continent develop.

"We hear non-stop that China is becoming a new colonialist," Bo said.

"Africa in past let its natural resources be taken away at low prices, but now it is not the same. China and Africa, according to reasonable market prices, conduct normal and reasonable buying and selling," he said.

Last year, trade between China and Africa reached $55.5bn, up more than 40% from 2005, according to data from China's ministry of commerce.

Terrorists spending time in SA?

2007-3-13 18:52

Pretoria - South African intelligence agencies are concerned that people involved in international terrorism are spending time in the country, said an intelligence official on Tuesday.

Barry Gilder, co-ordinator of the National Intelligence Co-ordinating Committee (Nicoc), an inter-agency body, said agents were watching certain individuals and organisations, including foreign visitors, who might be involved in international terrorism.

"We are concerned that terrorists are spending time here.. :P. it is something we are taking very seriously," said Gilder.

He said an inter-departmental task team from the National Intelligence Agency, South African Secret Service, the police, defence intelligence and other agencies had been formed at Nicoc to oversee investigations.

"We are putting together all information, and see whether we can feed these to enforcement agencies," he said.

Gilder was speaking at a gathering of directors-general of the justice, crime prevention and security "cluster" of government departments in Pretoria.

'Open society with good infrastructure'

Foreign officials and analysts have warned that South Africa had become a resting area for international terrorists.

The country's banks and other institutions were said to be used for terrorist activities.

"We are an open society with good infrastructure. That is one of the reasons they come here," said Gilder.

He would not describe the extent of the problem, but said some of the people on the intelligence community's watch list have contacts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and some have links to al-Qaeda.

He said SA was not a staging area for terrorism, but rather a place where those involved come to lay low.

He added that it was also not likely to be the target of terrorists.

"We judge it to be unlikely because of SA's position on issues concerning the Muslim community," he said.

The director-general heard that several efforts and new approaches were underway to increase capacity at various levels in the intelligence services.

One is the transfer of experienced officers from the spy agencies to the SA National Academy of Intelligence, and an improvement in the curriculum at the academy, said Gilder. He declined to give further examples for security reasons.

Crime hits 2 out of 4 families

2007-4-06 15:25

Johannesburg - More South Africans today are feeling vulnerable to criminal activity than they did in 2004.
When asked in a survey, conducted by The Nielsen Company in February 2007, whether they believed crime had increased, stayed the same, or decreased, 90% of South African living in urban areas reported that there was no improvement in crime levels, or that incidents of crime had increased.

This is up by 12% from the 2004 survey, where these perceptions were already pervasive.

On a provincial level, Western Cape residents appear to be feeling the most vulnerable as 95% of this group report that there has been no improvement or a growth in crime levels.

Based on reality

Unfortunately, these perceptions appear to be very much based on reality as 2 in 4 urban citizens report that they, or a close family member, have been a victim of crime in the past three months.

In the 2004 survey, the reported figure was 1 in 5.

Western Cape (27.5%), Eastern Cape (28.2%) and Natal (28.8 % ) have the highest incidence of crime, as claimed by respondents in the 2007 survey.

Free State has the lowest levels according to these self-reports.

While South Africans living in Limpopo and Mpumalanga recount relatively lower levels of crime than do those living in other provinces, their claims of being at the receiving end of criminal actions has increased by 7% since the 2004 survey from 17.3% to 24.2%.

No provinces have reported a decrease in crime.

Increase in women reporting crime

According to the results of the 2007 survey, more victims claim to have reported crimes to the police than they did in 2004.

While this is true of all race groups, both the 2004 and 2007 surveys show that White and Indian victims are more likely to report crimes than are Black and Coloured victims.

There are also differences between the sexes in reporting crime: While the incidence of men reporting crimes has remained stable, there has been an increase in officially reporting crimes amongst women, from 70.4% in 2004 to 80.1% in 2007, which may be a result of woman becoming more empowered.

The main single reason for not reporting crime in both 2004 and 2007, was the belief amongst victims that the police would not investigate the crime.

This may stem from the perception that the police are overwhelmed by the high crime levels.
On a positive note, when looking at the mean scores (score out of 5, where 5 is the highest score) of the service levels and efficiency at police stations, most provinces shows no improvement.

Although the Eastern Cape police services had the highest mean scores in both the 2004 and 2007 results, their overall score dropped from 3.37 to 3.1 respectively, along with Western Cape?s police who dropped from 3.17 to 2.9.

The lowest score for police services currently is Free State at 2.7.

In the 2007 survey, 2 out of 3 respondents reported that they felt that government's response to crime is less than what it should be.

This sentiment is particularly strong amongst Western Cape residents, who also report one of the highest levels of crime, where 82.7% of the respondents felt that not enough was being done by the government.

While there are differences in the perceptions and incidence of crimes as reported by individual groups, these differences are small, and the consensus is that there has been an increase in crime levels since 2004.

Guesthouse robbers shoot baby in head

2007-4-12 22:51

Johannesburg - Robbers demanded money from a young Nigerian woman at a Johannesburg guesthouse after killing her 23-month toddler with a shot to the head.

"But, you've killed my baby!" shouted Nkechi Obiekwe, 42, a chartered accountant from Abuja.

She and her daughter, Tsahai, were staying in the guesthouse after arriving in Johannesburg on Tuesday from a holiday in Zambia.

They were scheduled to fly on to Nigeria on Sunday, because there were no direct flights between Zambia and Nigeria.

Nkechi and her daughter were staying in a security complex in Rosen Street, Corlett Gardens, in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg.

Nkechi, who was taken to a hotel in Sandton on Thursday to get away from the murder scene, told Beeld that she had awoken about 03:30 to find two men standing in the doorway of her room.

"They asked where my laptop and cellphone were. I showed them they were on my side of the bed, next to me.

Turned around and saw blood

"The laptop was on the bed next to me because I had used it to play some music for Baby (as Tsahai was called) at bedtime.

"The robber took the laptop and kept saying 'Where's the cellphone? I don't see the cellphone'."

"I was feeling under my pillow to see if the cellphone was there, when I heard a shot.

"I turned around and saw blood on Baby's face and her eye hanging out," said Nkechi of the moment she realised her child had been killed.

The robbers left the room, but returned to demand money.

They fled when Nkechi started screaming.

Nkechi and Tsahai had just spent six weeks on holiday in Zambia.

Wessel Visser, a friend, said Nkechi had taken a longer holiday because she travelled regularly and had wanted to spend some "quality time with her baby daughter".

Amaechi, Tsahai's father, said from Nigeria on Thursday: "It's mad, man, mad. I just don't want to go there (South Africa) anymore."

The family had previously travelled regularly to South Africa.

Visser said Nkechi had bought a newspaper on Wednesday to look for jobs in South Africa.

Forced open a window

Before Tsahai was born, she had tried for 11 years to fall pregnant, and the couple had sought medical help.

Eugene Opperman, police spokesperson, said the robbers had forced open a window and climbed through burglar bars with wide gaps.

The electric gate did not work, apparently.

The robbers fled with Nkechi's cellphone, her laptop and a sound system.

Muggers hit Kirstenbosch again

Cape Town

Knife-wielding muggers have again struck above Cape Town's world-famous botanical gardens, Independent Online reported on Sunday.

Seven hikers in two separate groups became the latest victims near Kirstenbosch on Saturday, bringing to 24 the number of people mugged in the area in the past nine days.

One of the victims, a woman, who asked not to be named, said she was walking on the contour path with three friends, two women and a man, about 100 metres from Nursery Ravine when three men came jogging towards them.

"Two moved to the front and the other one remained behind until they circled us," she said. "They all had knives and took our backpacks, cellphones and valuables."

While this was happening, a group of three male hikers came from the other direction and were also mugged.

"They allowed me to take my car keys out of my backpack," said the woman. "They motioned for us to retreat."

The woman, who often walks on the mountain, said she had laid a charge with the police in Claremont. Adrian Goode, regional managing director of private company ADT Security in the Western Cape, said they received a call around 10:00 on Saturday from the police.

"We were given the descriptions of three male suspects, which were passed on to patrol officers in the area.

They spoke to a car guard on Rhodes Drive, who confirmed having seen a man who fitted the description of one of the three."

Goode said a man was arrested at Constantia Nek, but police spokesperson Elliot Sinyangana could not confirm this.

Evelyn Holtzhausen, spokesperson for the Table Mountain National Park, said they regretted the incident.

"It seems as if we have to concentrate more resources around the Kirstenbosch area. It is, however, difficult to anticipate such incidents."

Philip le Roux, curator of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, said that Saturday's incidents happened higher on the mountain than the previous ones.

He said it was extremely difficult to monitor the vast area.

Tik playing new role in rape

'2007-5-18

Cape Town - The use of tik not only leads to a higher incidence of rape, rapists are to an increasing extent forcing their victims to use the drug.
Statistics indicate that between 2005 and 2006, rape and indecent assault increased in the northern suburbs of Cape Town.

Nazma Hendriks, a counselling co-ordinator at Rape Crisis, said there was "definitely a link" between the use of tik (methamphetamine) and rape.

"We found that tik was being used almost as a rape-drug.

"Women who are about to be raped are forced to use it first. The rapists apparently believe that tik heightens the quality of the sexual experience. That is, of course, not true."

The relevant crime statistics only for the northern suburbs were:

2005-'06, 2 191 rapes and 1 047 cases of indecent assault.

Hendriks said perpetrators knew that using tik caused loss of memory.

"Rape survivors can't always remember what happened and, therefore, aren't reliable witnesses in court."

She said some of the women who came for counselling used tik to help them deal with the consequences of the rape, but it actually hampered the counselling process.

Aggressive behaviour

She said police contributed to the problem because they regularly said that the rape could have been avoided, because women knew what the possible effects of tik were.

Dr Naeemah Abrahams, a senior researcher at the Medical Research Institute (MRI) said although there had been no studies on the link between tik and rape, there was definitely a link between drugs and aggressive behaviour.

Rape went hand in hand with aggressive behaviour.

Andreas Pluddeman, a researcher at the MRI said the chances of risk-taking sexual behaviour (such as rape) increased in such instances.

Kathleen Day, a counselling co-ordinator of Rape Crisis, said the nature of rape was changing.

There were, she said, not only cases of opportunistic rapes.

"One also gets drug-related rapes, where drinks are spiked with drugs."

"These days, offenders target someone and build up a relationship with them.

Emotionally cruel

"They usually prey on those they think have social problems, and sometimes they also strike up a relationship with the friends (of the target)."

She said as soon as the relationship was established, the offender used drugs to commit rape.

"What do you have in that case to take to court? It's well-nigh impossible to catch these people.

"It's so cruel, emotionally. You don't know what the person did to you, because you can't remember much."
