We have fools in this country How can people watch a woman being abused? Lucky no one touches my female relative You beat my relative you are going down same time and no man beat a woman in my presence no matter how tough he is

Where is minister of women? This is pure gender based violence @SAPoliceService are failing women No wonder more women are being murdered in this country

The parents have failed this child. But best believe one he is going to moer his mother....

And everyone stood around and watched as a man hit a woman, and they did nothing. This is the misogyny of South Africa.

you'll talk about how bad is GBV all the time and when it happen with Video Evidence a guy get the warning going to sleep at home while abusing a woman? No wonder women get abused daily in this Country!!

Why has the Law not been amended to date to ensure that people like him stay in jail or is it because corrupt ANC led government doesn't take gender based violence seriously,like our pathetic and corrupt Criminal Justice System,Parliament is useless.

If the law fails this lady, i hope the community doesn't n protect other women too against this filthy animal

Why is he still at school at age 22? He can't be fixed thats a pure domkop.

He needs the rehabilitation to learn how to treat women and abode by the law regardless of his emotions. He needs to do the time. He'll be a better adult for it

Please tell me such behaviour will lead to excessive fine or imprisonment ? We have a problem of GBV If you don’t act aggressively on such matter it will be a norm

Out courts are useless You arrest someone now and two minutes he is out What nonsense is that?

Keep enabling them and you'll be looking for him in a couple of years. Let's hope the NPA doesn't disappoint.

In Zimbabwe that ZRP will moer you strongly for this , you wont even go to court they will deal with you on spot

By "formally charged" meaning his fingerprints have been taken?

@womenforchange5 @SAHRC_HO @DCS_ZA I guess GBV is not an issue in this country hey

They don't take gender based violence seriously

He needs to be in a TVET facility not a school

kgante ke dom. it explains everything

22 years still in high school? This must be a lie NEVER

This is the behaviour that has let him being at school at 22. Bullying kids probably. He's peers are at final yr in tertiary.

How are you 22 years old and still in high school 😩😭

What's that nigga doing in high school at 22yrs of age? 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

He still needs proper addressing though! 😤 0 respect!

The community was looking for him, lets hope nothing happens.

Quiet

He did say We have connections, the charges won't stick

Damn how do we protect our women especially teachers and other essential workers if the law is dumbfounded like this.

This is wrong

I wonder how he treats his gf

What time?

How the f..k is someone allowed in a school with under 18's at this age. At any clinic in South Africa that is licensed to treat adolescents we are not allowed to admit to inpatient anyone over the age of 17y 364 days.. even if they are still in school!!
