Agb Adjunkspeaker, dit is met afgryse en skok dat 'n mens in die media moet lees van skoolkinders en skoolmeisies wat verkrag word, en die dade dan gerieflikheidshalwe op video opgeneem word en verkoop word op die internet.
Dit is met afgryse en skok dat 'n mens moet lees van 'n klein baba, Marzaan Kruger, wat wreed deur haar aanvaller sodanig vermik is dat sy breinskade opgedoen het. Dis 'n kind wat nog nie eens kan praat nie; 'n kind wat nie in 'n hofsaak getuienis kan lewer nie. Ons s die gemeenskap het siek geword. Die vraag is, wat doen ons as ouers om die voorbeeld te stel en ons kinders reg op te voed? Die standpunt van die VF Plus is duidelik. Ons gemeenskap het so siek geword dat, as dit by kinderverkragters en moordenaars kom, ons die terugbring van die doodstraf bepleit, want dit sl werk om ons gemeenskap weer reg te kry. Ek dank u. (Translation of Afrikaans speech follows.)
[Mr P J GROENEWALD: Hon Deputy Speaker, it is with shock and horror that one must read in the media of schoolchildren and schoolgirls who are raped and that the rapes are then video-taped and sold on the internet.
It is with shock and horror that one must read of a little baby, Marzaan Kruger, who had been maimed so brutally by her attacker that she was left brain-damaged. This is a child who was too young even to speak; a child who cannot give evidence at a trial.
We are saying that the community has become ill. The question is: What are we as parents doing to set an example and to give our children the correct education? The argument of the Freedom Front Plus is very clear. Our community has become so ill that if it comes to the rapists and murderers of children, we are pleading for the reinstitution of the death penalty, because that is the only way to cure our community. I thank you.]
