 Mabuse, more should be done to protect rights of the vulnerable. Johannesburg, Deputy President David Mabuse on Wednesday said South Africans should be outraged at the recent murders and deaths of young women and children in the country. He made reference to the recent death of a five-year-old in a school latrine pit toilet in Visina. Oliver Tambo was born in Visina. What would he say to us who bask in the glory of his struggle, if we still fail to protect our children? Grade R learner, Michael Comebe, died in a similar undignified manner in 2014, said Mabuse. Speaking at the 58th anniversary of the Sharpville massacre at the George The Bee Cricket Pitch in Farinaging, Mabuse said more needed to be done to protect the lives of the most vulnerable in society. Why would the lion of the north, Peter Mokoba, not turn in his grave when he learns that recently, a five-year-old girl in grade R, was electrocuted at a school in Limpopo? What do we say, when in November last year, five children died a gruesome death in Sashangiva when an overhead light fell on them? What do we say to our innocent children about a police officer whom a less children placed in his care, children who have entrusted justice and salvation to him after they were raped? What has gone wrong? Why have we become so numb to the tragedies that rob our children of their innocence? Mabuse also condemned the recent killing of children and people living with albinism. The past few years have regrettably also seen the emergence of killings of children and adults with albinism and of desecration of their bodies. He said murder cannot be the new normal. We must refuse to embrace cruelty and torture as a new normal as we saw recently with the murder and burning of 21-year-old Tutt student and taxify driver, Siyabangankobo. We cannot rest as a nation when our daughters die painfully and their bodies are burned. We saw this with the murder of 22-year-old Karabomoko Anna last year. He called on all South Africans to work together to end the scourge of crime. On life he said Amini, he said, our country is emerging from a painful period in which 144 persons with psychosocial disabilities perished because we did not do enough as government to uphold their rights to self representation, to protection from harm, to access to quality care. Earlier, Mabuse late reads at the Sharpville Memorial site and paid respects to the families of those who lost their lives on March 21, 1960. He spent time speaking to the families and offering comfort. During his address, Mabuse said Human Rights Day should be a reminder of the struggle for a united, non-racial, non-sexist, just and prosperous South Africa. On that fateful day, 58 years ago, an illegitimate and brutal apartheid regime sought to silence an unarmed and defenseless people with guns. When the last order to shoot finally stunned in silence, 69 souls lay dead. They were strewed over the streets of Sharpville, with nearly 200 wounded. Their rivers of blood remain deep in this soil. He said the day also reminded South Africans that it was no longer business as usual. We must all do our part with utmost regard for the life of others, especially those that are vulnerable and marginalized. He said all South Africans must begin to conduct themselves ethically. We need to ensure that that we give the highest quality of service to our people and become public servants again. We need to make sure that we use our freedoms and democracy to serve our people selflessly at local, provincial, and national government. He said he was saddened by the recent resurgence of racial outbursts and slurs. We cannot count ourselves worthy of their contributions if we fail to rise above racial prejudice and unite as a nation. Using President Cyril Ramaphosa's mantra which he lifted from humosecholous song Dumamina, Send Me, Mabuse said, We also urge our people, in the spirit and ethos of Dumamina, to rise and lend a hand to make South Africa a better place to live in. On land, he said South Africans were not truly free without land. It is also a day that must remind us that freedom and democracy remain meaningless if the majority of South Africans remain trapped in poverty, without work, without bread, and without land, said Mabuse.
