  • South Africa has one of the highest incidence of rape in the world
  • 1 in 4 men admit to rape
  • More than 56,000 cases of rape were reported in the year ending in March 2011
Rape is endemic in South Africa. This is not a case of the young men being libertines as they adhere to a fairly strict moral code otherwise(or at least pay lip service to one) With the AIDS epedimic sweeping the continent it is clearly in no ones best interest to be having anonyomus sex, much less raping anyone.

So what is the root cause of rape in Africa? I know about the "sex with a virgin cures aids" and "Corrective" rape. I am just trying to wrap my head around this whole thing
