Stripping of woman at bus rank roundly condemned

"We want the police to assure us that they will investigate the matter," Ntsabane says. "Action should be taken against the culprits, including people who cheered them on."  Stripping a woman simply because she is wearing a miniskirt is a violation of her human rights and a clear sign of disrespect for women, she adds. If the culprits are not pursued, women will be called on to the street for massive demonstrations, she emphasised. "We live in a democratic country in which people may dress as they wish without fear of being harassed by anyone," Ntsabane continues, noting that if people are offended by a certain of dress, they should follow the right channels instead of taking the law into their hands. But the Commander of Central Police Station, Superintendent Mokuedi Mphathi says no such incident has been reported to them so far.

After reading about the incident in newspapers, he dispatched his officers to the bus rank to investigate but found no leads to follow.
