Social media users weighed in on the subcommittee's extreme solution

@JustCallMeC_79:

"I for one would fully support chemical castration for r@%ists and paedophiles who are also r@%ists."

@OfficialSarmat:

"South Africa's leading @MYANC party seriously considering #chemical castration to r@%ists.

The highest decision-making body, the NEC (Nat. Exec Comm.) deliberated on the matter and there is agreement."

@African_TimesSA:

"A human rights activist said chemical castration was not the answer to South Africa’s high rate of r@%e. The human settlements minister and chair of the ANC’s subcommittee on social transformation, Lindiwe Sisulu, has again called for the chemical castration of offenders."

@LionelAdendorf:

"@MYANC has run out of ideas. Spent time discussing matters that would not even pass the constitutional test; chemical castration, age limits for politicians…!

At this rate, you don’t lead society, you fool it! #ANCPolicyConference #ANCPolicy"
