AfriForum releases report on the extent and brutality of rape crisis in SA

The civil rights organisation AfriForum today published a report: Serial Rape in South Africa, on the rape crisis in South Africa using news reports, available data, research performed by various institutions, court cases and other sources. The report identifies rape and sexual assault trends, the main motives and beliefs behind the high numbers, and lists the most prolific serial rapists in the country's history. Afroforum says the report unpacks how the South African justice system has dealt with the matter, highlighting in particular the justice system's failings in this regard. We spoke to Monique Taute, head of campains at Afriforum.
