THE RAPIST ARE HERE

Rape, is an assault by a person involving sexual intercourse with or without sexual penetration of another person without that person's consent. There are several types of rape, generally categorized by reference to the situation in which it occurs, the sex or characteristics of the victim, and/or the sex or characteristics of the perpetrator. Different types of rape include but are not limited to: date rape, gang rape, marital rape or spousal rape, incestual rape, child sexual abuse, prison rape, acquaintance rape, war rape and statutory rape.
What is going on in Africa, and do not tell me that I am back again with my lips wagging because until justice is done I will not stop saying it as it should be. These days I tune my radio set and all I hear is rape her and rape there, so what is really happening? Is it that there is nothing else to be done than to molest innocent persons on the streets of Africa? I cannot help but wail when I heard of that incident in Cameroon about a woman who was raped and when she went to the station to report, the so called police men mocked her. How about this case in Goma, Conga about Kazungu Ziwa, a male who was raped at matchet point? Just on the 17th of December, Spero News carried the headline as, ‘Cameroon: Cases of rape increase.’ The News went on as thus, ‘A recent survey carried out in ten regions of Cameroon shows that rape cases are on the rise. According to IPS, 20 percent of the nearly 38,000 women interviewed reported having been raped. The German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) and Cameroon's National Association of Aunties – (RENATA), an organization of more than 10,000 teenaged mothers working against sexual violence, found most rapes were committed by people known to the victims. The rapists are family members, including fathers, school teachers, pastors and priests, classmates, colleagues, friends and neighbors.’ Now where do we run to if the perpetrators are living within us, even the most respected Reverends are part of this mess?
The list is endless but what can a weakling do to stop this broad daylight mess. From North to South, from East to West, the menace has eaten deep into the hearts of men. Every man wants to get the little bit of nonsense inside a hidden skirt and every woman wants to flaunt the god-damn waist at any passing man, so where do we go from here.
Right there on BBC Network, a Liberian man, a chief to be precise was interviewed and he was very much sure that the ladies should keep what they have and when the men want them, they will come for them. Was that not a speech of nonsensical attribution? He now feels that possessiveness will do the magic from stopping the haunting brats?

Now we all clamor that the men are to blame, but what about the sisters who flaunt their waist to the extent of causing accidence? How about the mothers who will willingly give their daughters for peanut, how about the sisters who will go any length to make sure that a brother stops them? I have seen one or two cases and I am well grounded that the ladies are to blame to. There was this case of a rape girl who was going home late in the night as of 10pm on a dark and lonely path? What do you expect from a hungry fool who have patiently kept his sperms to mature into a spilling liquid of mass destruction?

Africa and rape are synonymous to husband and wife. That is why we have top notch leaders who have been charged with rape one time or the other, take Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma, who in December 2005, was charged with raping a 31 year old woman at his home in Forest Town, Johannesburg. The alleged victim was from a prominent ANC family, the daughter of a deceased struggle comrade of Zuma, and also an AIDS activist who was known to be HIV positive. If you are not a leader but are involved in a war, then you are free to use the war as a weapon. And here, must we blame the ladies?
We live in a perverse world where all we do may go unpunished today but not for too long. We have sent our men to go unknown to get the cries of the helpless. Soon the greater part of the evil doers will be revealed and trust our watchdogs to follow the matter as though it were their last breathe.
