The setting alight of a 12-year-old boy during a bullying incident was condemned by Gauteng health and social development MEC Qedani Mahlangu on Wednesday.
"Any form of bullying is not tolerable. Society and parents especially have a responsibility in ensuring that we build our society on principle of tolerance", she said in a statement.
According to the Sowetan newspaper, the boy was doused with benzine and set alight by boys who had been harassing him for money in Tembisa.
The harassment started on Sunday and his mother went to the boys to demand the R11 back that they had taken from him.
They insulted her and said they had already bought bread with it.
On Monday, the boys confronted him again and his brother ran to his mother to say that his sibling was "on fire".
He suffered serious burns and is recovering in hospital.
Two boys were reportedly taken into custody.

Society is sick and getting worse.
Where have we gone wrong?:mad:
 
Where are we going wrong?
I thought that it was really obvious ... the parents of the bullies are not involved in their kids lives.
Or, as the meeples like to say: With freedom comes responsibility.
 
That poor child. Yet again, blame the Government. The fat cats are getting richer whilst their delusional followers still starve to death. In no way am I saying this is right - it is too terrible to comprehend.
 
They should had them over to the mob. If you're old enough to do the crime, you must be willing to face the punishment.
 
Bullies?

WTF.

Savages. Why call them bullies? Bullies push you or trip you up. Savages set you on fire.
 
Reading this, it's difficult not to lose faith in humanity to the point where you wonder if you even want to be a part of it. Hopeless, helpless and some poor kid will be scarred for the rest of his life. How bad are the burns? Are they over his entire body? Can he still see? Does he have a nose, eyelids, lips left?

I don't care if they were 12 or 50. This demands a death sentence. Or better yet, hack their hands off so they can never do it again and so that they suffer through life just as they have caused this poor boy to suffer.
