Rape in South Africa

In the news recently, there have been alleged rape accusations at Zuma, a man who may be the next president in South Africa. A women has testified that Zuma had tried to rape her while she was a guest in his home a few months ago. I think this is a very sad story. I think that people who are considered to be a role-model and someone who could be there president, is raping women. This women had looked up to Zuma as a father-figure after her own had passed away. It is sad that she couldn't trust him. This article also talks about the cases of rape in Africa and the widespread of HIV/AIDS, which is horrible. South Africa has one of the highest rates of rape in the world, and women's rights groups here say statistics show only one of nine women raped in South Africa reports the crime.
