ANC Women's League president Bathabile Dlamini has reiterated calls for those convicted of rape to be chemically castrated.

It is important that there be political consequences and accountability for those who fail in their duties like Bathabile Dlamini, says the writer.ANC Women's League president Bathabile Dlamini has reiterated calls for those convicted of rape to be chemically castrated.Natal, over the weekend, Dlamini said the call for chemical castration was relevant as women were still being killed and raped in the country.

"It was not the first time we made this call. During last year's 16 Days of Activism we made this call. We had a meeting with NGOs and alliance partners. Some of the women came out strongly on the issue of death sentence," she told Sowetan yesterday."We raised the issue of human rights and said you can't give the state rights to take life. Therefore, the option was chemical castration," Dlamini said."We know there is a Constitution.

Following national protests and a conference on gender-based violence, President Cyril Ramaphosa outlined government's programme to address the crisis.

The same chemicals should be used for corrupt politicians

There are plenty of men who are wrongfully convicted ,perhaps lie detector test must be conducted before,and what will happen to those women who lied ?

What happens when we find a person was falsely accused after 10yrs, its been happening

I wish she should've use such words when the late Khwezi needed their support

Thieves must also have their hands chopped off

And those that are guilty of corruption robbing the poor a quality life and calling them 'Our People'when it suits them Senzani ngabo Ma?🤔

I agree but lead us on what should happen to the thieves looting state funds

She’s got a point, but then she’s Bathabile Dlamini. None cares about what she says, so do I.

What is going to happen with rehabilitation centers called prisons if the punishment is permanent?

Queen B.

For once I agree with her , these monsters don't even deserve jail , they deserve to die .

Say a charlatan who defended Zuma who raped his daughter.

She should have said that during Zuma rape trial & it could've capt long ago.

I wonder where she stocks her populism rhetoric. I'm sure she buys it in bulk.

Tjerrr I hate to say this but I do agree with her this time provided if the rape was scientifically proven (dna)

Please chose another picture next time. This honourable lady is not always in this mood

This won't work

When sending tweets, don't forget to respect elders regardless of their indiscretions - if you take control of of your tongue/thumb, you will have many days on earth.

The first thing I completely agree with from this league!!?

Seconded.

Can we please be respected.

What if it later transpired that the person actually didn't rape the victim, like we see these days whereby people are wrongfully convicted?

She's trying to sound responsible that one

That's a worthy punishment and it should similarly go to those who falsely accuse.

Let’s not forget false rape accusers, whose motive is to tarnish or solicit money. They must also suffer the same

What about those who lie and frame man 😡😡

We will start with her boss from nkandla who raped kwezi

😳😮

She Must tell Us what should happen to those who are Corrupt.. These people think that they are God himself,they are too quick to suspend and fire others but when it comes to them dololo..

Chop the hands and heads of corrupt ones

Stupid, what does she propose the punishment for women found guilty of rape to be? Maybe sow the vagina and seal with super glue?

😴

And those who looted Sassa money should castrated too!

Is there a process to chemically induce a brain into her.

1st they must policing, ivestigation and all the justice system in order .....imagine being wrongly castrated. ....

Cyril would never have the balls to say this

Even thou she has has weaknesses this time she’s absolutely right...when then blind see know it’s time to take serious action

Why did I read this headline in her voice 🤦🏿‍♂️🤣🤣

Attention.

She should have said this when one of their leaders was accused of rape. She was very quite because by then it wasn't fashionable. Populist at its best

I fully support her on that one and on top of it, they must serve 25yrs behind bars.

And may those who are found of falsely accusing our brothers of this disgusting crime be dealt accordingly as well

What will be the safety measures that they don't castrate people who are falsely accused?

Take this clown seriously at your own peril; ask anyone who was at UZ around 1983, very shallow politically, not an ANC material, she was parachuted as she happened to be in the right camp.

Just attention seeking. She knows that will not happen.

This cde still abusing alcohol again..

stupid old lady

And what about those incompetent ministers?

I'm so with Ms Dlamini..

This one is drunk again.

What an embarrassment from a whole minister- retributive justice has not worked anywhere and what will happen to female rapists

She would have calls about bringing the death penalty back ☠️😱😠, the rapists are murderers also ☠️😱⚰️😠😠

Fair enough and what should happen to those who are convicted of corruption?

Can you please include those who are corrupt like yourself and your comrades.

Someone should gift her a constitution to read at some point.
