"Corrective" rape on the rise in South Africa

[Something completely different]

So whilest reading some more stories reporting on the situation for homosexuals in Uganda, I came across this very disturbing story:

In April, Noxolo Nogwaza was raped by eight men and murdered in KwaThema township near Johannesburg.

The 24-year-old's face and head were disfigured by stoning, and she was stabbed several times with broken glass.

The attack on her is thought to have begun as a case of what is known as "corrective rape", in which men rape lesbians in what they see as an attempt to "correct" their sexual orientation.

Some trace the root of the problem to pockets of traditional African society that have not accepted homosexuality - especially among women.

"African societies are still very patriarchal. Women are taught that they should marry men, anything outside of that is viewed as wrong," says Lesego Tlhwale from African gay rights group Behind the Mask.

"It is seen as un-African for two women to marry. Some men are threatened by this and then want to 'fix' it," she adds.

I didn`t want to open this thread in the "politics" category, but didn`t know where else to open it.
To me this is clearly a crime and if I could I would post it under a "crime" category.
