Cape Town a worst place 4 kids

You know guys i just had to write to u about this,im very sensitive to issues that includes kids.I think Cape Town is the most horroble n scary place to raise a child.

We still have to deal with the fact of children disappearing n being sodomised,raped,by their own relatives n family members. Its just sickning serious. The real reason i had to write to u ppl about this, a couple of days ago in Guguletu there was a child found behind the woman's house, the child's body was pulled by the dog,the body apparently had no heard n the liver of the child was cut out,so it is said that the mother of the child killed the child for mutilization caz she's been promised by the sangoma to pay her a certain amount of money.For me thats no reason enough to kill yo One month old infant.

Another one in Khayelitsha there's a four month old baby who died after criminals came into the house n ask the father for a cellphone n money,when they got what they were looking for they wanted to shoot the father but the bullet passed on the child who was on the sofa.

Have all these ppl got arrested or what i dont know,but i think its about time the death sentence comes back,for the rapists shame we need to cut their irritating puts of their bodies, what is happening to children is very sad. For such little creatures who cant even defend themselves.

If u think im wrong when I  SAY CAPE TOWN IS NO PLACE TO RAISE KIDS tell me, caz I think tik tak is taking over ppl's mind.

I have a 1 year old son and I'm planning to raise him here @ CpT bcoz of the education standard and my love for this beautiful city...and I will do so.This is a good article bt I so much disagree with you with the statement "CAPE TOWN IS NO PLACE TO RAISE KIDS" ...
You can go anywhere around South Africa and you'll find that kids are raped all the time which is really sad and unspeakable....bt plz gal dont scare me abt the mother city..I just love it

Cape Town is so much better, compared to a lot of other places, I mean it's a big city but it's so much more relaxed than Jozi.

Watzup Cocky?? hi hi hi
I feel you gal, CT is too dangerous especially for kids. They cant play in the streets anymore like normal kids. I have a travelling job and i go to all this places elsiesrivier, Delft and stuff and in the morning you just see gangsters in every corner of the street.
If my colleagues could tell you how many ttimes he got marked at gunpoint while on duty, during the day. o tlo tshoga.
There is this issues about TIK, now schools have policemen/women guarding throughtout the day, still the kids still manage to kill each other.
Its not safe staying in CT, no matter where in CT you stay.

As a person thatz stayed in both places i disagee. Its more relaxed yes, but the crime stats in CT are worser.

NO Way! Jozi is wild, by the way what stats r u quoting 4rm? coz CT I agree has a lot of TIK etc, BUT Jozi has a lot of hijacking, break ins etc. But then again our whole country is infested with crime. But CT is better.

I don't agreee with your statement either. I have a two year daughter. I have 2 provide xtra care bcoz of the rape situation in South Africa. I don't even allow my cousins(male) 2 take care of her for just 15 minutes. I pay after care for a full hours, just for her 2 stay an extra 15 minutes at nursery school. The only man I trust with my daughter is her father.

Ooooh, please! Why do u single out JUST Cape Town. The entire PLANET is dangerous. The entire Mzantsi has crime, rapes, poverty etc.
Cape Town is much quiter that some big cities in this country

@ Presha
Do u know uguthi in the crime stats release somewhere this year, Nyanga in CT is the place with the most murder cases?? just to mention a few
Where else do u hear everyday that Kids are kidnapped, raped, murdered
School kids killed each other??
There is crime in every city, YES but i think the writer was highlighting the fact that CT is worselt affected, especially children here.

presha
20 Aug 2007 03:13

yes XC, very true, I mean go 2 Hillbrow/Berea/yeoville in Jozi I'm sure the crime there beats the crime in the whole of the Western Cape. I mean Jozi has a reputation WORLDWIDE.

Let me just say every province is dangerous and it's not fair to single out one Cape town when it comes to children dissapearing, every city in this country a child dissapears!!!!!!

Cocky i understand ur frustration, that's how i feel i about this thing as well, but to say Cape Town is the worst place to raise kids in is just being tooo dramatic. There's lots of places that this problem is happenning but maybe these places dont get enough coverage by the media and CPT happens to be the place that always get noticed when it comes to this abuse of children.
Its a global problem not just South Africa...... I think parents out there just need to be verrry careful with their kids these days cos you cant trust anyone now & lets not just blame Men only on this there women who are also psycho's out there.....Amadimoni alahliwe & everyone is affected........

We hear of kids being killed everyday in the entire SA, Ok Nyanga had the highest murder cases, but the difference in %'s is not 2 big between the different townships, wich just  proves that the whole of SA has a problem, and not just CT.

20 Aug 2007 04:13

@ presha thank you for that...I really feel u!
Nyanga in CT is the place with the most murder cases..those stats gal are for around CpT and not the whole city....no matter where u go in SA there's crime and CpT is just the least in the list....
Sorry Gal bt I love this place and I will stand-up for it...

Cape Town is a beautiful city yes!!!!! But beautiful enough to eat yo kids,,it is the mst violent city when it comes to kids.Joburg n Durban specialises in crime like robbery,fraud n stuff like that. here they specialise in sodomising young boys,raping infants n killing them. I live in city,i am a mom so this is pethatic n sick im gonna say it again this tik tak is making e'bdy MAD.Eastern Cape specialises in witchcraft.hi hi hi :-)

hayi! CT exposes all the crimes th@ take place here, believe me a HELL of a lot of crimes against children take place in da rest of SA but they r not reported to da cops & the press in those areas doesnt take it as seriously as we Capetonians do. Phela here @CT we have da daily voice which exposes all these things, whereas there in Joburg  u have da daily sun which focusses very much on boloyi, amoeba etc.

 I understandstand you ppl are trying to defend your city Cape Town,but  we are mothers and fathers of this childrens , I think we should come up with the solution to end all this craziness, fight for our kids to get the freedom on walking freely in our streets( the whole of SA) i mean cause it is all rotten,

But again the big problem is our GVT who defend this deamons and the Justice system who is failing us, so I think we have a long way to go. Yes, its easier for us to say we want death penalty back but the BIG QUESTION is WHO IS GOING TO KILL , can you @ Cocky?

It make me sick to read the head lines that says "a three year old girl had been raped and bruttaly murdered" what gone wrong in these men heads , they all claimed that they had a difficult upbringing, can't they change their way of thinking and do what is right to  others.
