POLICE CATCH TEENS IN CLINCH

POLICE conducting a search operation at Club 43 in the East Rand town of Benoni at the weekend were shocked to find two young couples making love in public. Police estimated the age of the girls involved as not older than 14 years. ”Both couples literally ran away with their pants on their knees,” said a policeman. It is an offence under South African law for anyone to have any form of sexual intercourse with a girl younger than 16. Police also found hashish, dagga, a variety of habit-forming pills and some so-called ”date rape drug” in the form of eye-drops.
