South Africa: 82 suspects arrested after a mass rape

After a mass rape of eight women, the police in South Africa arrested 82 suspects. Officials were investigating at least 32 rape cases, police in the northern province of Gauteng said on Saturday. Some of the victims were raped by up to ten men, said Police Minister Bheki Cele. The group of perpetrators also committed an armed robbery.

On Friday, heavily armed black perpetrators known as “zama-zamas” attacked the film crew and extras at an abandoned site in Krugersdorp, near Johannesburg. The crew had been filming a music video at the disused mine. The eight women who were raped were all models between the ages of 19 and 35. According to the police, the attackers also stole wallets, mobile phones and jewelry and then fled the scene. Police officers shot dead two of the perpetrators as they fled.

What are ‘zama-zamas’? “Zama-zama” is a local South African Zulu language term which means “to try again” or “take a chance.” The term actually refers to illegal miners who work in discontinued mines. Since industrial mining conducted by large-scale companies has seen a decline in operations and profits, shafts are taken over by criminal networks that use hand tools and manual labour to extract ore.

The mass rape is politically explosive, because it is estimated that 70 percent of zama-zamas are undocumented foreigners. South Africa has a history of xenophobic violence and the issue has become the focus of political campaigns.

HUH? Undocumented foreigners bad? How can that be. They obviously need to head to the U.S. where undocs are revered for their contribution to one of the U.S.'s biggest strengths, out diversity! Just ask branDUHn. Will the 'splc' send someone to represent the undocs? And, AND, they were allegedly armed. I thought South Africa had tight restrictions against firearms. Where is little davee hogg? Should he be south bound to complain about the proliferation of weapons in SA?

Zama-Zamas is a term which we should start to use here in America.

Q: What did the socialists have before hand tools?

A: Machinery!

This is a frequent happening in S. Africa from all the “other” reports of this before. Not at all uncommon for women and girls to get raped in that part of the world.

“Xenophobic violence”. Watch for that term to make it into the popular lexicon.

It is also “ common “ at our Southern border.

Children are the rape victims, and the political elites in the Beltway do absolutely nothing to stop it.

B-5 reference?

During a pause between scenes, Jerry Doyle (who played Garibaldi) was overheard by Straczynski (the Executive Producer) saying that "the problem will never be solved until we replace the electric chair with electric bleachers." Straczynski felt that that remark perfectly reflected Garibaldi's personality, and included it in the script.

The left think that violent criminals Wil, fol.ow laws, and also think that they attack in lone events- usually violent criminals attack in groups, all armed tO The teetH. Liberals should be called out for endangering citizens with their asinine gun control laws which cause violent criminals to be even more of a danger/threat tha. They should be if citizens could cefend themsleves properly.

It’s just whites getting rapes, so it’s ok according to the MSM and left. Not a hate crime, and not important. Just like the whites in Sweden being mass raped by Muzzies. It’s no big deal just accept the rape as part of their “culture.” Whites are evil and must pay, so no complaining please.

Any rational person would see that the reason why this crowd is still poor and miserable 32 years after apartheid ended is NOT oppression, but the fact that they have made no progress toward becoming civilized.

Generally, it’s defined (by the left, anyway) as an irrational fear. “Innate” would work for me.

Think about the cost of crime. Easily ten trillion dollars a year in the US. Running the prisons. Running the courts saturated with trials and appeals. Police. Emergency rooms. Security systems. Insurance. Loss of property. Loss of freedom. etc, etc, etc.

We have telephone poles that are nearly obsolete — use them to crucify criminals.
