From Mail & Guardian:

One in four men in South Africa have admitted to rape and many confess to attacking more than one victim, according to a study that exposes the country’s endemic culture of sexual violence.

Three out of four rapists first attacked while still in their teens, the study found. One in 20 men said they had raped a woman or girl in the last year.

South Africa is notorious for having one of the highest levels of rape in the world. Only a fraction are reported, and only a fraction of those lead to a conviction.

    Culturally, many Africans (not all but many), have always treated women as objects. Nigerians esepcially, from what I know, in many of their tribal views, looked upon women as property or as objects that can be owned. I’m sure many South Africna tribes were not much different. Don’t quote me but it’s very possible that they were. Whenever you have this view, it causes men to look upon women in “less than human” ways. Whites did the same when they owned Blacks during slavery because they saw us as less than human or even less than animals. I pray for the men and women over there. I’m sure this isn’t a new thing. People are just reporting it more.

    IN AFRICA THEY BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY WAY TO CURE AIDS IS TO HAVE SEX WITH A VIRGIN….THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE HEALING THEMSELVES, NOT COMMITTING CRIMES…. UNFORTUNATELY WE ALL KNOW THAT IS NOT THE CURE. BUT THAT IS WHAT IS THE NORM IN S.A.

    THE TRUE WORTH OF A RACE MUST BE MEASURED BY THE CHARACTER OF IT’S WOMANHOOD.

    This is why the continent of Africa CANNOT and WILL NOT prosper until it understands this concept and acts accordingly.

    That goes for any nation that treats it women and girls like second class citizens.

    This could put “CHEATERS” out of business.. If you plan to leave your woman It would be best not to have the “one last time”. Or if the woman you are seeing on the side finds out you are married… “OUCH”
