Foreigners will lead this country 1 day

That simply means they lied that they were raped nd assaulted.

Looks like somebody does not know what’s happening! 14 people “falsely accused”….The SAPS, Security Forces and special investigation Units should be Investigated! Seems the very peoples susposed to look after SA and it’s Citizens are not doing well at sll!

Sad news

I understand the points people are making here?You must blame your police who doesn't do they job correctly,that is why innocent people are lavishing in prison,I said it previous in my tweets innocent people will pay for this,while the real criminals are out there,what a shame

SA is kaput....Vote them again and again.

Cant say am surprised,yesterday i received an sms telling me that my son case was dropped without us going to court,just imagine and the perpetrator who stabbed my son is our neighbor,trust our justice system they dont care about the victim

U trust this useless court at your own

What about the charges of illegal mining is it also withdrawn? If it is also withdrawn why because they were all arrested in the process of illegal mining?

Here's a new slogan for you: 'Let the rapists go free, keep voting ANC.'

They were just testing to see if SAPS has intelligence. Bheki Cele can now go on a permanent leave of absence please!

lira12_joy SAPS failed those girls

After this Abuse

Njani manje, who are the ghost rapists.

It is alleged that the video was fake

Suspected. No evidence links them to crime committed

ProudlyMsTee Ofcos they should....they haven't raped enough people yet right This is south african justice by the way

lira12_joy Something is fishy about this film shoot,the member of the crew was also arrested with stolen items from the victims

I wonder how Bheki Cele sleeps at night.

14 out of 80 suspects is what should be said

This is why our country is crime ridden and a haven for criminals

lira12_joy Make it make sense. Did the women falsely accuse them?

Why Did the women want to be raped?

So you mean to tell me there is no evidence of the rape allegations? No samples were collected from the 14 victims matched the perpetrators' DNA? The NPA is a total failure.

Soooo.... Where are the rapists? 🤷🤷 why has no one ever questioned who is the owner of the company doing the shoot? How is that not very very important? Ey out media...

If rape was staged, then law enforcement officials must revisit those so called 'victims' What if was porn movie shooting gone wrong? I suspect former cop was mpimpi....

I'm sure they found that the DNA doesn't match any of those arrested. They arrested them for show. I hope they don't come back to society angry and start to retaliate. God know what they have been through in there. Especially if you know you are innocent. Yoh SA!

Good grief! This cant be right? I mean the hatman himself ordered a 72 hour what-what, and went there himself

There is no law for foreigners in sa they can do as they please.... so sad

Stupidly of at best

Then deport those criminals

South African judiciary is a mockery

Not a surprise, welcome to South Africa!

This is embarrassing. Bheki Cele is just diverting in most high profile cases

I knew the arrests were just a smokescreen to quell the public outcry and get the rapes out of people's thoughts

That would happen in that country led by cyril remaphosa

It was just a pablicity stant. People need to realize that ANC is using foreign nationals as a campaign. They know if they use social media to balloon certain issues every one will believe. All this time they knew that none of those people were involved in the rape.

They dropped the cases in court but normal SA men have to catch the smoke on the stats... Mxm

Any comments from those 8 (eight ) woman allegedly raped ?

Now that's BS. This is where traditional justice comes in not even mob justice will help in this case. My question is those lawyers that were representing the perpetrators how would you feel if that was your sister or daughter that got GANG RAPED.

lira12_joy Njani?

“The DNA test results which were released earlier this week could not link any of the 14 arrested men to the crimes”. That's why.

This is no good South Africa is not safe for women

So the women raped themselves right?

Imagine the victims of that situation 💔

YiFilm!

a joke really welcome to SA

Wat

This country under the ANC isnt serious about curbing violence against women and children

What a poor reporting, you said breaking news and said NOTHING after that.

Shocking. Horrible, Swaak..Weak. What a loss, SAn justice system continuously failing from all angle. Cry beloved country cry, the law is in the hands of the thugs. PhalaPhalaFarmGate Terrorists Polo SAPS

They did not Rape so called celebrities or EFF member of ANC Members or Known government officials so it means nothing to lawmakers

The South African justice system keeps failing women and children every single day 💔
