Controversial SA ISSUE: The paper vs the Latest Cop Sex tape scandal

The warder and police woman anout to do the deed
Having watched a debate on special assignment last night regarding the cover story published in the Sowetan newspaper on the Sowetan Live online on the 15th of August about a male warder and police woman engaging in a raunchy sexual act in a government  hospital while on duty, one cannot help but wonder what the world is coming to.  The news has shaken South Africans and the manner in which the story was publsihed is what causes the controversy aroud the entire issue. Many young people are infuriated by this and some want to remain annonymous, I asked around South Campus NMMU of what some of the students think of the incident and their reaction to its publication, from now not only there being explicit pictures but also an explicit 15 minute video of the act. Here are some of the opinions...

I heard about the story but havent read it or seen it, I agree that the acts were published for a good reason, the picture published by the Sowetan is authentic information and verifies the truth for us, yes it was explicit but facts are facts.

I saw the video and there is nothing wrong with the story that came out. These are two adults having consensual sex and it is not like they did not know what they were doing. They were on duty and that is the problem because they should have been on the outlook for the criminal and protecting us. Sowetan could have been sensitive, they should have ommited the graphics and just given us the detail of what happend and the steps taken to reprimand such behaviour.

It's not like these things do not happen, too bad they got caught, they just should have been smart about it!

Nwabisa Ngqoshana (20)  Psychology

I would be embarassed if any one of these two were my parents, I do not think I would have survived the publicity. The newspaper made money out of their story because hey, sex sells! Even if their faces were published they still would have been exposed, it serves them right because they too were unethical.

There was no need to publish the videos or the pictures, there was no need for the whole thing because the information would have been just fine.

Shuhaida Adam (20s) Social work
Its deviant, the faces being exposed would have been better than exposing their bodies, I'd go in hiding if one of them were one of my parents and the fact that their are both wearing wedding rings and are married makes it worse.

 It's wrong that the paper published this explicit picture because it was private, they should've just given us the information.

 This will soon blow over

It was unnecessary to publish the pictures, papers are meant to be informative yes, but what about the children of the cop offenders and what about our children who are exposed to this kind of reading content? The damage has been done, these people are parents too and it would have blown over had the editor not inserted this explict picture, we would have been at peace with the information that we have than the graphics.

I have the sex tape, this warder is a disgrace to men! How can you be busy with a woman in the hospital with a gun on your waist? What if it goes off? It should not have been recorded because it is plainly disgusting, I watched special assignment and got bored yesterday because this is nothing new just unfortunate.

I would like to hear as to waht you think about this, post your comments on this cartoon and and let your view be heard....
