I believe perpetrators are getting free will and comfortable with their crime as the legal measure are not strict. Most of them get arrested, go out on bail and still continue with their crimes. Government must be strict with justice

It’s imperative that we reinstate the death penalty, in the hope that it invokes fear and makes people understand that enough is enough. As women, we have endured so much. Speaking from my own experience, I am deeply pained and angry. I have a daughter, and constantly looking over our shoulders is exhausting. Life sentences and rehabilitation don’t bring back our loved ones, while we’re left to coexist with perpetrators who may reoffend. Something has to change.

As much as I acknowledge that there are people wrongly accused of serious crimes like rape and murder, also we need to acknowledge how much criminals are getting away with murder and rape. So I believe that if the consequences of crime are not harsh criminals will always win and crime will continue because criminal know how weak our justice system is. They will always resort to crime because they know they will get free meal free education and few years doing time apply for parole and go free

As a woman living in South Africa I don't feel safe to move around freely, even at my home. I constantly worry over my children when I'm not around them. Death penalty will bring back dignity to the country. The perpetrators will be get what they deserve. Bring back the death penalty!

I am signing this petition because enough is enough these killings need to be stoped and as far as am concerned a death penalty will do. People are being killed left right and center and even when one is caught red handed doing this deed the court still says a person has a chance to be represented in court, why? A killer must be killed yes reasons might be different but the can be dealt with once the death penalty is reinstated

I Nyameka Siwela sign this petition for death penalty to come back for people who are murderering women and children in this country for we cannot afford to have people who have committed horrific crimes come out to walk freely and find another opportunity to commit other crimes We urge the government to pardon the people of this country when it comes to this

People kill,serve sentence and develop them selves while serving sentences and get released. How is that justice, if a person know if I kill I will be killed they will not act on the urge to take someone’s life.

South Africa’s high crime and murder rate is deeply concerning. Many criminals get away with their crimes, while victims’ families and communities are left living in fear and trauma. It is heartbreaking to see cases of domestic violence and the murder of women, only for perpetrators to eventually return to society. Cry, our beloved country!

If someone murders another person, they take away that person's constitutional right to life. It seems only fair that, by committing such an act, they forfeit their own right to life as well. Many criminals appear undeterred because they know the punishment is often less severe than the crime they committed.

Crime rate is too high in our country. It saddens me to even see policemen and policewomen being killed like nobody's business. It's high time we stand together as a country. Let's sign this petition.

For death penalty to be reinstated. We’re fed up about people who kill others and then live their lives in prison. And eye for and eye.
