Interesting proposal, however chemical castration isn't permanent and would simply be a waste of tax and public resources.
Instead, I suggest proper surgical castration of the entire twig and cherries. You would take the gun away from a killer, the licence away from the drunk driver, why not remove the weapon of choice of a rapist once and for all.
Even though rape is a schedule 5 crime in South Africa, meaning it's a 15 year jail sentence, this does not seem to be phasing rapists. Yes, I also agree that castration plus the 15 year sentence is the only way to go. Chop, chop!
