IFP KZN demands tougher sentences for women, child abusers
The IFP in KZN says the courts must show no mercy to women and child abusers.
A serial rapist was handed three terms of life imprisonment in the Scottburgh Regional Court on the south coast last week.
Bhekisisa Mhlungu was sentenced for the rape of 10 survivors, including women, teenagers, and minors.
The IFP's spokesperson for social development Les Govender feels the sentence handed down to Mhlungu was weak.

"The IFP believes that in its current form, the 25 years of sentencing for rapists and murderers is not enough.
Mhlungu's actions in our opinion was goal directed, premeditated, and planned. He represented an ongoing danger to the physical and emotional wellbeing of women and children within the community."
