THE SHAME OF OUR COUNTRY

South Africa is known for all its beautiful landscapes which have attracted a lot of tourists all over around the country. To be honest we are not only known for that but one of the crime kingpin country. The high rate of crime taking place here has put a dent of the perspective of our country in the International eye. One of the leading crimes in South Africa is domestic violence, from physical and psychological abuse on woman and children.

Each day a women and girls are raped, beaten, burned, trafficked and subject to horrendous sexual violence all around the world. While here in South Africa it is reported that 1 in 4 woman is raped from a one month baby to a 94 years old grandmother. Every 4 minutes a rape case is reported in our country. Rape has always been a problem in our country; it took the horrific rape and murder of Anene Booysen the 17 year old girl from Western Cape to raise voices of many South African. People are now willing to take a stand against this outrageous violence against women and children.

One would have thought that after this horrible incident of Anene  we would see a reduction on sexual abuse but reports show that recent rapes have been  involving babies and older women. Now if you are a citizen of this country you would ask yourself what South Africa is turning into. Are we becoming the capital of sexual abuse? Is this what we want our country to be known about? Is this what we want for the next generation?

We are all to blame from traditional doctors who feed men lies that virgins can cure HIV/AIDS, to the Government and the public as a whole. We are responsible for each other just sitting and not doing anything about this because you are not affected makes you guilty as the rapist. No one can come to help our country but ourselves. Its time we take a stand against women violence. If one voice can make a difference just imagine what 10 or hundred voices can do. With more close to 100 cases reported in our country, the maximum sentence for rape is life in prison which is 25, but official shows that less than 10% of reported sexually crimes result in a successful prosecution, making many reluctant to rape.  I personally think that life sentence in prison until death would be the solution.

Here at Nkosi's Haven we say NO to domestic violence. This does not just harm you emotionally and physically but healthy wise. Rape is one of the reasons behind the high rate of HIV/AIDS in our country. How are we going to reach an AIDS free generation if we continue to sexually abuse our women? REAL MEN DO NOT ABUSE THEIR WOMEN BUT EMBRACE THEM!!!
