SA 'rape gang' a tall tale

2005-10-02 13:59
line

Johannesburg - A "South African rape gang" alleged to be terrorising young women in the British town of Northampton was revealed by police to be nothing more than the figment of two girls' imagination, the Johannesburg Sunday Independent reported.

Northampton police had already stated last month that the suspects were not in fact South Africans, following the arrest of three men. The three were later released.

On Friday, police announced that after an eight-week operation by more than 50 officers, they were no longer hunting a gang of "predatory men" at all.

I know how those countries have turned out and its a shame, but these injustices of the past need to be addressed in a fair manner which is why I'm not against compensation for land and also I do acknowledge that we are at a difficult time economically to do this in haste. As for the other two that commented I don't care what you think! Read the article...
