How the hell do we know what the email ACTUALLY says?

It could say South Africans are routinely barbecuing 3 year old girls and garnishing them with 9 month old baby sauce.....
 
Wanted to include the email but its very long and I doubt anyone would read the entire thing. Basically its about crime in South Africa some of the stuff sounds made up though.
 
Generally when someone starts a petition list, an event must have triggered some emotion to take action against the higher authority.

In this case, the email was started by an Australian person, which begs to question, why would an Australian person, start a petition to combat crime in South Africa?

Reasonable answer would be as OP has noticed, Australians are starting a scam to show how dangerous South Africa is. It isnt written for SAPS to take any action. Rather as propaganda, South Africa is dangerous, Australia is safe, come to us for a holiday...

At least thats how I understand it.
 
Dude i have no idea what list is for, crime or a baby?

Who cares let the whole of australia sign it, won't make any difference.

Bit like those Anti Apartheid petitions back in the day :erm:
 
I think the girl ate the baby and was taken into custody at the airport in Australia and the Soldier's have taken exception to that!

Or it is one of those expatriates who is desperate for South Africa to fail so they can say "I told you so"
 
Last week a 3 year old girl (in South Africa) was beaten and raped.
She is still alive.
The man responsible was released on bail yesterday. He is walking the streets.
If you are too busy to read this then just sign your name and forward
this on.
The Government is planning to close the child protection unit and
this is a petition against it.
This is a very important petition. It is an essential part of the
justice system for children.
You may have already heard that there's a myth in South Africa that
having sex with a virgin will cure AIDS.
The younger the virgin, the more potent the cure. This has led to an
epidemic of rapes by infected males, with the correspondent infection of innocent kids. Many have died in
these cruel rapes.
Recently in Cape Town, a 9-month-old baby was raped by 6 men. Please
think about that for a moment.
The child abuse situation is now reaching catastrophic proportions
and if we don't do something, then who will?
Kindly add your name to the bottom of the list and please pass this
on to as many people as you know.
If you are signature no.: 120 - please forward the mail-list to
[email protected]
Please don't be complacent, do something about the kids of South
Africa.
You can make a difference. That child is fighting for life. This is
just one of the million cases of child abuse, so please pledge your support and help keep CPU
(CHILD PROTECTION UNIT) open.
Please give your support to the petition and ensure that it goes to
as many people as possible. Please don't just leave it, make a difference.
In order to write your name copy this message and paste it in a new
mail (compose).
Or click on forward and add your name to the list and send it on to
others.
Again, if you are number 120 please send this to
[email protected]
