EFF Youth Command demands answers in rape case of 7-year-old girl in EC

JOHANNESBURG - The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is set on Tuesday to take its protest to get answers to the rape case of a seven-year-old child to Pretoria.

This follows calls for justice for the girl who was raped, allegedly at her primary school in the Eastern Cape, in October last year.

The party said it condemned these horrific and catastrophic actions against children. 

EFF Youth Command coordinator, Naledi Chirwa, said that it was concerning that the people who were in power could not protect the most vulnerable people in society.

"If the government cannot protect the most vulnerable in society, there is no hope for the rest of us.  If we know, and have come to raise awareness on this, that there's a crisis, a catastrophic crisis on GBV," said Chirwa.
