  • Meanwhile, In Gauteng: School Has Human ‘Dog Fighting’ Problem Where Winner Can ‘Mate With A Younger Child’

    It would be fair to say that our education system in this country might need something of an overhaul. Last week we brought you the story of our plummeting matric pass rates, which isn’t exactly ideal. But this folks, this story will straight up blow your socks off.

    It has emerged that at a school in Springs pupils are spending their break times scrapping it out in ‘dog fighting’ style, with other pupils betting on who will emerge victorious.

    The children were doing this reportedly because adults encouraged them during weekends to take part in actual dog fighting as well as role-playing.

    “They rip into each other. The play is aggressive enough to cause each other injury,” Wilson [an inspector from the National Council of SPCAs] was quoted as saying.

    Other children placed bets of between R2 and R10.

    The mind boggles, it really does. Usually we like to make light of the headlines but this is actually rather jarring. This quote to really mess with your head:

    The winner of the fight then gets to mate with a younger child as reward…

    There you have it guys. Quite what justice is apt for the adults involved is beyond me. Seriously South Africa, if this doesn’t make us take a long, hard look in the mirror what will?
