In her claim, she said the police had not done enough to find her that night. If they had, they would have found her, she said, and been able to stop the rape and probably to make arrests there and then. She said she never heard a siren or voices. She saw the helicopter but it did not spot her.
Judge Zondi said, however, that the evidence of the search team showed that the police had mobilised all available resources and these steps were “reasonable”. While there might have been omissions in the police investigation — including a failure to question bush dwellers in and around the beach “with any sense of urgency”, this did not prove “wrongfulness” which was an essential element in a liability claim, he said.
“To impose liability for harm in this case would make it difficult for police to conduct their investigations in future,” judge Zondi said. He said Ms K had also failed to prove that the actions of the police, and not the attack and rapes, had resulted in her trauma, as even her own experts had conceded.

I would suggest read the article before making any comments. Her request was definitely unreasonable 🤦🏾♂️ . Judge even ordered her to pay the police minister’s legal fees.
Is the judge not paid by the state? Is the judge not bias because the money must come from taxes? How competent is our Police Service?

ANC suspends North West councillor accused of statutory rapeIPC co-ordinator Hlomani Chauke said they noted with shock the arrest of their councillor and his appearance in the Klerksdorp Magistrate's Court, facing a charge of statutory rape of a 15-year-old girl. If you guilty then you guilty. It is always with ... 'Shock,' or with ... 'Surprise,' or ... 'Both,' when it comes to the ANC. We the public are neither shocked or surprised by the actions of the ANC any longer. Wait! I take that back ... if the ANC told the TRUTH or took responsibility, we certainly would be. Suspended. Slap on the wrist. To be deployed elsewhere in the near future.
