There are now questions around the facts in a BBC documentary that caused waves in South Africa after it showed a man named David confessing to being a serial rapist. BBC Africa crime reporter Golden Mtika's piece on the prevalence of rape in Diepsloot shocked viewers. A follow-up report from Drum TV, however, shows David saying he was paid to lie, and others who appeared in the BBC documentary are in agreement. The BBC denies all allegations.
