Afrikaans says what?

Lesbians living in South Africa are being raped by men who believe it will 'cure' them of their sexual orientation, a report has revealed.
Women are reporting a rising tide of brutal homophobic attacks and murders and the widespread use of 'corrective' rape as a form of punishment.
The report, commissioned by international NGO ActionAid, called for South Africa's criminal justice system to recognise the rapes as hate crimes as police are reportedly failing to take action over the spiralling violence.

The extent of the brutality became clear when Eudy Simelane, former star of South Africa's national female football squad, became one of the victims last April.
Simelane, one of the first women to live openly as a lesbian and an equality rights campaigner, was gang-raped and beaten before being stabbed to death 25 times in the face, chest and legs.

Triangle, a gay rights organisation, said it deals with up to 10 new cases of 'corrective rape' every week.
Support groups claim an increasingly macho political environment led to inaction over attacks.
A statement released by South Africa's national prosecuting authority said: 'While hate crimes – especially of a sexual nature – are rife, it is not something that the South African government has prioritised as a specific project.'

Holy crap! South Africans are hard core. No wonder Charlize Theron moved out of that place. Raping women to cure them of their lesbianism is like tying my right arm behind my back or cutting it off to prevent me from masturbating. Guys, it's simply not gonna work. It amazes me how out-of-touch with reality other countries are. Being civilized seems so natural, but some people, they just stab, rape, canabilize, murder, etc. I guess we could be criticized for our glorified violence through music, but "curing lesbians" through rape sounds like somemthing that would occur in some small inbred church deep in the rural mountains of Appalachia.

BTW, Charlize, we're so happy you decided to come here.
