Call to arrest without bail: Mthuthuzeli Zuma, rapist of 7 months old child of Ayoni Tuswa
Mthuthuzeli Zuma raped 7 months old child of Ayoni Tuswa in Mthatha and the child is in hospital. This bill is to call for his arrest and to be without bail
Our mission is to safeguard the rights and dignity of every individual, regardless of their identity, age, or any other characteristic. It is heartbreaking and infuriating when the most vulnerable in our society—our children—suffer from heinous crimes such as rape. In a distressing case, Mthuthuzeli Zuma stands accused of the unconscionable crime of raping a 7-month-old child.
This crime, taking place in South Africa, Mthatha ,has sent shockwaves through our communities, highlighting the immense challenges we still face in protecting our children. No child should endure such brutality, and no perpetrator should easily walk free awaiting trial. There are countless stories of reoffenses in cases where bail is granted, especially for severe crimes such as this. We cannot stand idly by while there is a risk of harm to other children.
The statistics are staggering. According to the South African Police Service, there are an alarming number of sexual offenses reported each year, with a significant number involving minors. In 2022 alone, over 20,000 cases of child abuse were reported, a figure that only begins to scratch the surface of the reality many children face. It is imperative that the justice system reflects the gravity of such offenses by denying bail to individuals accused of such deplorable acts.
By refusing bail, the justice system can send a strong message that crimes against our children will not be tolerated and that accused individuals will be held accountable for their actions pending trial. This not only protects potential victims but also reassures the public that the safety of the community, especially its most vulnerable members, is a top priority.
We urge the courts to prioritize the safety and well-being of our children over the rights of a man accused of such a monstrous act. Justice must be served swiftly and decisively.
I urge you to support this cause by signing this petition to ensure Mthuthuzeli Zuma is denied bail and that our legal system takes a definitive stand against violence towards children. Let us come together to protect our future, and ensure that justice prevails.

This is a 7 months baby, obviously wasn’t wearing any provocative clothing nor did the baby accepted free alcohol since it always women fault but a behavioural issues of these rapist. Justice must be served for this baby, she has the right to live in a safe environment and not be traumatised by men with no self-discipline.
He doesn’t deserve bail! If this is not his first rape case it means he will rape again and again as long as he’s not in jail. For everyone’s safety this man must stay in prison
Makabanjwe avalalwe angaze aphinde alibone ilanga, ufanele ukuphila endle nezilwanyana xa enemikhuba emibi kangaka. Usihlazisile isizwe samaXhosa wenze umbulo onzima ade adlwengule nemveku phofu kwayona iligazi layo
People who human traffic, kill deliberately and rape should not recieve bail... This has become a pandemic, and the laws should change. As a law maker, male or female, how would you feel if you were raped and saw your perpetrator at the store the following week???
I don't understand why that man was out on parole while he raped his daughter. How did the justice system expect the daughter to live under one roof after the parole. You see now what he has done? Raped a 7 months old baby. SA justice system does not care about victims instead it favors the perpetrators and protect them
NO BAIL MUST ROT IN JAIL
They must change South Africa is for south Africans we don't need foreigners.they must go back to their country's

He must be arrested and convicted. No rapist should get bail, especially him because he just got out of prison for raping the mother of the 7 month old baby, he clearly didn't learn anything from jail. He must go back with a a longer sentencing
