South Africa: Chemical Castration for Rapists Proposes North West Premier Modise

press release

Chemical castration of perpetrators of sexual violence might serve as a deterrent to reduce the scourge of rape, North West Premier Thandi Modise has suggested. Premier Modise who was herself a victim of rape in her teens has vowed to lead a campaign to lobby for chemical castration given the unacceptable levels that the scourge has reached across the country.

The Premier announced her crusade and reiterated her call for real men to stand up to be counted against the scourge of rape at the inauguration of the newly nominated Provincial Council on Aids (PAC) held at the Mmabatho Palms Hotel on Monday.
