I see ppl huv their own views about those striped victims ko Kagiso in my own opinion mphakathi did good ey When they violated those girls n raped them how did that make those girls feel

YES THEY HAVE DONE BAD BUT DO WE HAVE TO STRIP THEM

This woman of toitoi are horney why strip them naked

Was it necessary?

It's a fucked up situation

When the state (police) is incapable - or indifferent - vigilante mobs gill the vacuum. This is on ThugInAHat & the ANC. EndCorruptheid

It’s really not necessary my safricans brothers n sisters.

Else where they would not have seen the next light of day. People are enough. Struu

Ziyakhala!

This is clearly violation human rights seriously

There is no reason to strip them naked, this could have handled differently who ever strip should also go to jail.

These are young people banage whY. Even in arrest we must maintain human dignity. What do you expect to come out of this beside reinforcing anger. Shame. Black people we must stop this self hate.

'First they came for the foreigners, and I did not speak out—because I was not an foreigner. Then they came for the Zamazamas, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Zamazama.' Support mob violence and one day you will find yourself on the wrong end of the mob.

Inhumane. Worst black to black. 2 wrongs can not be equal to right. Surely there is a better to deal with it.

Being a victim of crime is dehumanising. Let’s talk about that and stop being pitiful for perpetrators.

And the real mines thief and smuggler is the Whiteman, watching and smiling from inside, probably saying in his heart ' these Africans are exactly where our forefathers wanted them to be. Can't they see that it's us who owns all mines and land? Let them clobber each other, haha'

I am confused the same people who are terrorising women and men using big guns you sympathising nabo ngoku

Kagiso has no white residents, on the photo i see white residents, i don't know of which place,

This happens when the SAPoliceService does NOT do their jobs! The communities will do it for them. Now, close the saps stations seeing as the communities are more pro active & SUCCESSFUL!

My first time seeing people in a rush to get in the back of a police van

Are they stripped naked to make sure they don’t have any minerals on them? Or is it just to dehumanise… because the latter ain’t it🙃

😳😂

The terrorize that community. Rape their women. Police / government does nothing to stop the crimes. Si the people sorted the problem out themselves. Nothing like a good hiding to get your point through. The oeople are gatvol.

Whatever someone has done, why do we glorify this kind of mob justice? It makes both sides weak.

I believe from a Ugandan friend that that is what they do to criminals in Uganda. The community strips them and then beats them.

I support what the community is doing by stripping them naked, but my worry though is, what if some of the people there are innocent?

It's like stripping a girl caught being human trafficked. Has anyone thought to think the Zamas may be bought in by syndicates (prob SAgovt owned) under guise they can work legally Where are the interviews with the Zamas? The vitriol and xenophobia and humiliation is gross!

Barbaric, I know the Zama Zamas are wrong, but you cannot fix one wrong with another. A big sign of absolute lawlessness and poor governance.

I understand many of them are forced to mine at gunpoint by gangsters who basically kidnapped them. Theyre not rich men with gold - theyre slaves. Yes it must be stopped. Yes the rapists must be held accountable. But we must catch the gangsters running this thing.

Why not cutting their balls

South Africa the country of wonders

Was that done by residents?

Good

SA flags should fly low until crime is reduced to 0%. Safe to say SA flags were not designed for politicians & politically connected individuals. There should be a local police parade for every funeral. After all, that is taxpayer's money. We must stop the animal farm syndrome.

Good

Why corrupt government officials and politicians are left alone. They should be exposed to the same punishment as they are the ones that are promoting this through corruption. Most of them are not patriots hence they are revolutionaries during the day and hyenas during the night.

They get what they want,this is South Africa,this is how they're being treated in their Countries.Well done

We have a problem of an educated black , when are our very own were rapped and man stripped naked by these fuckers how did it feel ? Now people are doing what they did jiki jiki it's wrong . Siyifunde kubo an eye for an eye

Wait for a white farmer do this to a fellow black man and see you won't scream racism.

That is just inhumane, not civilized behavior

It's very wrong to strip them Naked.... Very unacceptable

But, what does the illegal miners do to the community? Because they are mining?

You are stripped naked to ensure you are not armed and it's not easy to fight back.

This is how the ruling ANC thieves should go, naked and afraid, to jail forever.

Tomorrow a European or Arab or Chinese will do the same and some of y'all will be shouting Black Lives Matter. GTFOOH.

I've always never wanted to post this picture but sometimes it's necessary.

Vigilante justice has never been the answer and it's sad that our country has deteriorated to the extent that South Africans are cheering on these inhuman acts. The perpetrators should be dealt with by the law, They committed barbaric acts and should be charged accordingly.

This will end in a sour note

Humiliating them will never ever resolve even our of the country's unemployment problems. Anyway those doing that act are poor themselves.

Most ppl are concerned why are they naked...for us to win this crime issue we must respond harshly and cruel to set a msg to others and those who are still deciding to do crime.. those who kill must also be killed (fair enough)!!!

Hate is Evil

But why dehumanise them?

We must kill then that's the only way they will get the message

U will feel the pain when u stay in location, your wife, child raped your brother murdered

😲😲😲

Let us put our Government in our prayers, May God fix other countries and their Governance We also want peace on our land Amen

When they return the will be chaos...this people r real killers

Cursed generation

That's good hope they get raped in prison.

Zimasabuhle Where was SAPoliceService and GP_CommSafety all along.. This, won't end well for the country, red flags everywhere, our law enforcement need to catch a wake up..

Sophie_Mokoena You must be so angry gogo Sophie. When are you going to court to stop the police from arresting your brutal foreigner rapist? ZamaZamas When are you going to change the angle to make your ZamaZamas foreigners the victims of Xenophobia

Why strip them though?

That's not fair

This is not lawful. Arresting is understandable. Not trying to prove a point when there’s gangsters getting away with so much in the country, is preposterous.

Where are videos?

ngeke sive ngaMalema..liyabuya live letfu😎

That one dude is looking to calm for someone who has another niggas crack on their shoulder.

Kangaroo court

Ons is moeg.. South Africans let's go to Westrand

When they rape women...is that not humiliation you gated community you are so annoying trying to be political correct.

Good well done

Why are they still alive these rapists 😡

What were they doing

Barbarism begins at home

This is so unneccesary.I understand the attack on those women were def wrong in all ways. then again how can we as a country lend a helping hand or try to understand their reasoning for doing what they are doing if our own damn government couldnt give a flying fish over its own.

Some try to sound being good people by blaming the stripping of thugs who rape people in front of their families. There is devil in everyone if you are here to sound or look like a saint.

Can probably say....humanity is out of the window.

Good

they are going to arrive naked in police cells. Yhuuu

This mostly happens when the law on the land if not useful and functional.

They should've stripped them and moerd the shit out of them we're sick and tired of these people!!

They Must just beat these things

That's exactly what they do when they rape

Has anyone died yet?

Only that? What happened to beating them while they are naked? 🥲

But SAns let's honour another man regardless.We understand the anger but we don't have to strip them naked.Apply citizens arrest and hand them over to the police!

When are they going to torture them to get the info on their handlers?

🤔 kanti how many are these people?

Nice

Government has failed.

This thing of stripping criminals naked has become fetishist now. Aren't there laws against this?

I guess we know the mood in the room...

They're tiering

Chop their jhamnandas is obvious ke illegal migration malema,s heart is painful when he see all this all he want is lawlessness

The only language that illegal foreigners understand

This will end in tears. Expect retaliation

Better there are no Zimbabweans , it could have been worse than this.

Well done kagiso our government is doing nothing we must do it for ourselves next time we march against illegal migration

Since they are stripping our land from minerals.

LAWLESS COUNTRY on AUTOPILOT

People are tired

Vote for ANC then ANC will take your money and make you do the governing yourself... bloody useless!

Someone tried to inform the president 😅

Hurrah....

Salute Kagiso salute it's war let's defend ourselves we can't be scared in our country never

Has TimesLIVE reported anything regarding illegal miners like they do with 'Xenophobic' South Africans

Why though? To humiliate them? I'm confused.

Was is it necessary to stripped them naked?

We love to see it, we can't be terrorized by this criminals in our country like sitting ducks

This is too much!

Those basotho really messed up business for everybody

Abramjee Guys what are the immigrants mining?

Abramjee Moet hulle

These children are bleeding. Grossly dehumanizing. God have mercy on our land. Every time a south african was arrested for gbv esp tshegofatso pule. I kept saying people aren't as angry as they'd be if it were foreigners. The 1 time it's foreigners everyone is xenophobic

Kagiso. Give that residents a Bell

This is what we need...Kagiso community doing the things...I wish more communities would follow but unfortunately it's dangerous...and SAPS is useless as usual...

Hayke 😂😂

Zakhala 🤣🤣😭

Dear South Africa, This is how we must all tackle our national issues. US men and wome) not the politicians!!!!

😭💔😭

Gonkga mogwete in the back of the police vans now 😂

Well done for catching them But stripping them naked? Was this necessary?

The worst time to be a Zama Zama is now , imagine stripped naked , and usually here very few men will retain their confidence .. guess there was a rush to entre those SAPoliceService bakkies 🤣

These are investors, the rand will react.

When the police fail the community this is the results!! BHEKI CELE MUST FOKOF

I have always hated Bitcoin and thought it was a scam until a friend referred me to Allison_Grillo, I made my first withdrawal of R100,000 in 2 weeks thanks to Allison_Grillo.

Growing up a clash with police would see dead, injured and the rest arrested... Cops never ran away or OBSERVED

Kagiso residents block roads as police act swiftly to calm protest over zama zamasAnger over the recent Krugersdorp mass rape by alleged illegal miners led to residents of Kagiso on the West Rand taking to the streets on Thursday morning, vowing to shut down zama-zama camps in the area. Swiftly😳, the situation has been going on since early morning and there were no police there at all, so the word swiftly is highly misleading. Swift bit in the meanwhile one person has been killed. You call that swift?
