Good day.
I am a South African woman who is trying to change South Africa’s useless Justice System for the protection of woman and children. I have started a petition online that has the ability to reach worldwide attention. Many of the signatures that I am receiving are from people all over the world. It is growing very slowly and we need all the help we can get to reach over 100 000 signatures. Once I have this I will contact local reporters and I will get this to the Justice Departments doorstep and if they don’t wake up then I will stir it internationally so that there disgrace is made public! I am sure you know the extreme suffering of these survivors and it needs to stop. This petition has the ability to save life’s if we EMPOWER IT.
These raping scumbags need to be put behind bars, no bail, no mercy- 50 years to life sentencing. It needs to happen, the less raping criminal minds that are walking the streets, the less woman and child victims we will have. We need to address the root of the problem and make an example of these men so that others will think twice!
Please – help forward this to all the members of your organisation who will sign this and forward it on so that we can actually take a stand in this country. Bellow is the link that can help us change the country we live in and protect woman and children. We need to be the voice of these woman!

This is not a half hearted passive attempt, I am dead serious about driving this all the way home and winning it for CHANGE.
I will be eternally grateful for your support.
