Please see my reply regarding a letter published in the 11 October edition of the NEWS, Congratulations, Amanda.
Thank you so much Ron Laity for your letter of congratulations in last week’s Krugersdorp NEWS; it is appreciated sincerely.
With reference to your statement about the Freedom Front Plus’s manifesto regarding advocating the whipping of children, I would like to make the following very clear: the Freedom Front Plus has – and never will – advocate or condone the whipping, savagely or otherwise, of any child.
If you followed any of a number of my media releases and radio interviews, you would know that the Freedom Front Plus is an avid fighter for the rights of woman and children. I have had a number of media releases about brutality of children in schools, whether it be towards other school children or pupils towards teachers as per recent incidents covered in the media.
However, one should distinguish clearly between chastisement of a child and whipping a child.
