In the Western Cape, recent data has shed light on a distressing issue: every day, five minors fall victim to rape, according to activist groups. The extent of the problem is highlighted by the staggering number of cases reported from January to April this year, amounting to 1,909 incidents. Such statistics underscore the urgent need for interventions to protect vulnerable children and address the systemic issues contributing to these heinous crimes. The persistence of this crisis calls for immediate action from law enforcement and community leaders to implement stronger protective measures and support systems.
