SOUTH AFRICA When two thieves were caught in the act, a bloodthirsty crowd immediately mobilized around them, craving street justice. After they beat them so badly that they could not even stand up, they threw tires on them, poured gasoline on them, and burned them alive.
In many African states, including the civilized Republic of South Africa, the phenomenon of mob justice still persists. Although it may sometimes seem fair, fast, and effective, in reality it is a gross violation of human rights. Even the worst thief has the right to a fair trial and punishment according to the law. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, always call the police to the scene.
