Immigration laws influence Xenophobic attack


South African law regarding Immigrants are not that tide enough...Yes we cannot allow/ echoe Xenophibic attack, but why our government allow foreignenrs to open SME's (Tuck shops or Sphaza shops) in Townships. Why immigrants are being given so much freedom in our country, yes we are friendly country and developing country in the same time.

Now that local residents who are small shop owners, they have to share consumers with shops owned by foreign people. This create an influx were we observe lot of immigrant coming to our country, to open shops (especially in townships). Now every corner of any townhip you visit, one will bump onto a shop owned by a foreigner.

Yes they are hardworkers and not lazy as our fellow South Affricans but currently resources that we have are not enough for our growing population. I strongly belive that is time for South African government to make Immigration law to be tide enough, in a way that foreigners are not allowed to open shops in the informal markets.

Currently South African share resources with people from other contries and they also face poor delivery of services. Undelivery of services influences frustration among community members and this lead to attack to foreigners with a perception that they are not contributing to a tax collection and are given preferences when come to jobs and allocation of RDP houses.

Criminal activity to have sex at aged between 12 & 16 years


According to a section of the Sexual Offences Act No. 32 of 2007, consexual sex between children aged 12 to 16 is a criminal activity. The type of a law has resulted in three children at the Jules High School being charged with a statutory rape. The Children Rights groups are challenging the constitutionality of this laws.

Some people do believe that these children were not supposed to be charged. The reason being is that the law was supposed to protect children from Sexual Offences and not criminalize them. The reality of the matter is that teenagers they do commit sexual activities from as early age of 12, so do we need to discourage them or teach them about sexual activities? We are living in wolrd where technology drive access to knowledge and information. Teenagers without consent of parents they do have access to explicit content that drivies them to have sextext & this lead them to have sex in schools.

Charging of the three chidren at Jules High School, I think this is the appropriate move to discourage children from having sex under age of 16. This is a strong message that will enable children to behave at schools and not commit adultory. Yes they will hide them and still have sex but they will know that if they can be caught they will be charged.
