britexpat, it also addresses rape as a weapon of war. I really wanted to highlight the fact that this really shouldnt be made into a black versus white thing - for the sake of peace :)

I do now see that it's bigger than apartheid, yes. And in that case, there are a lot of examples from history that SA can take a leaf from and change the status quo. I agree with Gypsy though, having Zuma doesn't set much of a good example does it? The slightest hint of sexual impropriety would disqualify most aspiring politicians in many countries. The fact that Zuma seems to be sailed through to the top position, says a lot about the prevailing attitudes in that society. (Im just going to get my bullet-proof vest now, in case pinelands comes back) :)
