@MrShnazer . I am writing in English because most of my ancestors were English, Scottish, Dutch and German colonists! The rest were black Africans and slaves bought to SA from Asia. Like most “white” South Africans we claim a mixed-up history. So I know what racism and colonialism means from both sides. Rape is a problem in SA, but should not be used by racists to justify their warped beliefs – it has a history in which they are implicated!

@Poswit South Africas vile rape problem has nothing to do with colonialism. A colonialist past does not make people rape women.

You are trying to excuse the evils done by South African blacks on blaming the white man.

@macsof30 Salut macsof30,ce n’est pas la chanson officiel de la coupe du monde. La musique officiel de la coupe du Monde c’st Waka Waka de Shakira. Neanmoins cette musique merité bien l’ etre. Autre musique officiel de la coupe du monde mais de la parte de Coca Cola est Waving Flag de K’naan. On espere que la France et l’afrique du sud passe a la prochaine phase de groupe.

@kingdomofdalriada – as a woman in South Africa I can only agree that rape is a big problem in some areas. But, I don’t think you are writing this because you give a shit about women, but because you want to create a negative image of the country. Sexual violence did not come from nowhere – apartheid and colonialism raped this country first, and the answer doesn’t lie in twisted racism that started it all in the first place. Go and enjoy some real World Cup “gees” like the rest of SA.

According to a survey for the period 1998–2000 compiled by the UN, South Africa was ranked first for rapes per capita One in three of the 4,000 women questioned by the Community of Information, Empowerment and Transparency said they had been raped in the past year. More than 25 per cent of South African men questioned in a survey published by the Medical Research Council (MRC) in June 2009 admitted to raping someone; of those, nearly half said they had raped more than one person.
