IN THE past two weeks or so, the POST has published photographs of six women and two men on its front page – not because they had achieved something remarkable, but they had committed some vile deed

The six  alleged jewellery thieves are on trial for allegedly swindling Premjis Jewellers in Gateway of R3,2 million.

The State alleged that it was an inside job as the six, one of whom was the manager of the store, were employees of Premjis. 

Could greed have gotten the better of them?

They are on bail of R20,000 each. 

As if that was not shameful enough, two lecherous men were caught on camera for allegedly having sex with underage girls.

The pictures show a 52-year-old, half-naked, pot-bellied Durban businessman in a hotel room with a 17-year-old girl.

The other picture shows a 32-year-old Kempton Park man who wanted to have sex with a 16-year-old.   

What disgusting, despicable and shameless men they are.

I wonder how their families will feel when they learn about the dark side of their respectable husbands and fathers.

They are actually sexual predators – paedophiles – who prey on young girls. 

These sugar daddies have been exploiting young, impressionable girls for a long time.

We must commend the POST and the reality show host Bishop Julius Moloi for exposing these scum of the earth.
