If the video link doesn't work through the Free Republic system, you can open up the original web page and activate it there:
SABCnews.com - south_africa-crime1justice
The video is in the RealAudio format. If you don't have or don't want the RealAudio player on your system, there are several RealAudio alternatives available that will still play RealAudio format files and streams. One of my favorites is Jet Audio, which offers a free version. You can learn more about that here:

Not surprising, really.
Looks like the new boss is worse than the old boss.
Bush's fault.
Rememeber reading an article a couple of years ago of three serial rapists apprehended by a community in S. Africa and they were tied to a tree and whipped almost to death by the women in the village. Sounds okay to me.
What?!?!?!?!?! Anarchist rule in the Utopia of Mandellaland?!?!?!?!? Say it isn't so!!!!! /sarcasm
Oh...it's Bush's fault for not having cured AIDS, of course.
You should hear what they do to those witches when they catch them.
Agreed.
Can you believe the World Cup is scheduled to be played there in 2010?
My Latin's rusty, but I THINK that's right. An old axiom.
If this trend continues and / or escalates, they will have few options other than cancellation of the event, nationwide martial law, or humiliation when nobody shows up for the event.
Corruption is so rampant and integrated into the Government culture that I doubt reform is possible at this point.
A lot of those soccer fans will feel right at home.
Not at all.
sounds like New Orleans.
If the police raced to the scene, and arrested the thugs, they would be criticized.
If they shot the thugs, they woulod be called murderers.
What's left--Oh, yeah...let the Locals handle it.
The corruption sounds similar, but one important difference is that one of the things that the police tried to do in New Orleans was to confiscate legally-owned firearms from law-abiding citizens. In South Africa I don't believe that it's legal for anybody to own guns at all, so the citizens use other tools when the government fails them. Things become medieval very quickly in a society that doesn't provide people with basic protections and also refuses to allow them to protect themselves effectively.
So lets all sing the chorus-
"Ding dong,the witch is dead,witch old witch,the wicked witch
Ding dong the wicked witch is dead"
Zimbabwe and South Africa are the New Orleans of Africa.....
there are videos of a child rapist in what appears to be pakistan or a philipino and they execute him by sitting him on a 5 ft stake, gravity fed slowly.
