And that post was widely shared. one person who saw it was ian cameron, a crime victim advocate in south africa. he received a tip off from imbayarwo s employer, leading to his arrest a few hours later. imbayarwo was found guilty of rape and murder on tuesday, and will be sentenced today. ian cameron, from the crime victim advocacy group action society, joins us now from cape town. thank you very much for your time. they say is a remarkable series of events where it seemed to be holding on the family of the victim to do the investigation. how usual or unusual is this in south africa? thank you very much. unfortunately, in many thank you very much. unfortunately, in many cases we are dependent in south in many cases we are dependent in south africa and well organised community structures to combat crime
Ian cameron, from the crime victim advocacy group action society, says it is not unusal for relatives of victims in south africa to have to pursue perpetrators. unfortunately, in many cases we are dependent in south africa on well organised community structures to combat crime because the south african police service aren t up to the task anymore. and i would like to applaud lehanne sergison for being an absolute hero in this specific case, because if it wasn t for her consistent following up not only with the south african police service, but even with the british home office, i don t think anything would have happened. she really stuck to it and kept on following up, unfortunately, with little or no help, both from the british foreign office and also from the south african government. and it was her post that eventually led to his arrest. to give you an idea, if we speak about rape first, south africa has about 153 confirmed rapes per day.
