Plus if I could just add one other aspect.  Plus the crowd of people that then gathered, it wouldn't have been very possible for them to rape these girls in front of all these people, which wouldn't have prevented them from killing the girls in front of all these people, because the evidence says that there was a crowd at the time they killed them.  At the time they killed Hapile rather, so the crowd wouldn't have stopped them from killing, but it would have stopped them from raping, which then adds a certain plausibility to what Elsie said about the crowd and how they responded to the crowd and so on.  It was never put to Elsie that they never said that to the crowd.  It was never put to Elsie that the things she alleged they had, Radebe had said to the crowd, weren't said to the crowd.
