SHOCK: 1 In 4 South African Males Admit To Rape
By News One June 18, 2009 9:26 am
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.

Why does the headline say SHOCKED,who the hell is shocked by that s**t.
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.
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.
THAT IS WHY THEY DONT HAVE A GOVERNMENT..THE MEN ARE HEATHENS..
THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN ESPECIALLY GIRLS SUFFER THERE..THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED POLITICAL ASYLUM SO THEY CAN LEAVE AND BE SAFE
AND SEE IF THE MEN STAY ANDE TURN ON EACH OTHER
The article should’ve also covered the AIDS/HIV stats as well.
