Many dignitaries and NGOs organisations alike condemn the deeds and encourage every woman to go and report any sexually assaults.

“I believe those who are caught being at the wrong side of the law,they need to be disciplined” NW premier Thandi Modise said last year.

She also proposed that if they were caught their genitals must be removed.

South Africa is a democratic country,but so far some NGOs believe the country has not done enough to protect women.

The rape is scourge and need to be dealt with.
