Firstly, obviously this is absolutely atrocious. The people that did this...well. I don't know what should happen to them but I wouldn't want it to be nice. It's just so sad and wrong.
But, I'm not sure it's a particularly good example in the context of this thread. The reasons why things like this happen in South Africa aren't to do with tribalism. They are rather more akin to an abused child becoming a child abuser. There are many in South Africa whose minds have literally cracked as a result of the previous regime imposed on them. That has nothing to do with tribalism or "primitive" culture.
I'm not sure if I'd let them off that easily with the whole appartheid thing dub. They raped the boys mother then shot her, killed the father, then drowned the lad in a bath of boiling water. To me, that's pure evil, and not the result of a cracked mind.
This whole story was in the Daily fail, earlier... millions of horrible stories of awful things happening.
Just too awful to think of, even if those creeps wanted to drown him, at least use cold water.
There were lots of answers... from people that live in South Africa, too, they were also horrified. This is not the norm. It is just creeps that do this.
There are so many unbelievable yuk going on around the world. If we can do nowt about it, best to keep your thoughts somehow positve or else u too will get dragged down ...
Nobody has any answers ...
except to look within.. but almost nobody does that.
