I congratulate Amanda de Lange on being elected to the local council.
However, your party’s manifesto advocates a return to the previous regime’s practise of savagely whipping eight-year-old children for trivial offences.
I witnessed some of the beatings and they were not for the faint-hearted.
These canings were monitored by doctors who took an oath to heal. Shameful.
Women, some of whom were mothers, and supposed to be tender hearted were prosecutors and magistrates at the time.
This did not stop them from being party to the sentences. Sad but true.
Amazingly there was not one word of protest from Child Welfare.
Your comments would be appreciated, bearing in mind that you may no longer discriminate on grounds of gender.
