Mpuma child, 3, caged, starved, assaulted
A three-year-old White River girl was locked in a cage while her grandparents allegedly sexually assaulted her and failed to provide for even her most basic needs, Mpumalanga police said on Wednesday.

Sergeant Ralda Visser said police got a tip-off recently from a travelling pastor that a child was being incarcerated in a compound in Brondal, near White River.

Visser said that when police went to investigate they found the girl had already been removed from the cage. However, she said there was evidence the child had been battered with sticks or other weapons and had been sexually assaulted.

It also seemed the child had no clothes of her own and had to beg naked for food. She slept on bits of plastic in the cage.

SA is falling apart. Think Bush, the CIA, the Pope know what's going on in SA?

1. As a child I believed in monsters...
When I became a teen, I no longer did. When I became an adult and saw how some "humans" could treat others, I believed in monsters again :-(
