SA women hold miniskirt protest

Hundreds of South African women wearing miniskirts are holding a protest at a Johannesburg taxi rank, where a woman was sexually assaulted.

Nwabisa Ngcukana, 25, was allegedly attacked by a group of taxi-drivers and street hawkers for wearing a miniskirt.

The taxi drivers are shouting insults at the women. There were angry scenes on Friday at a similar march, when both women and taxi-drivers stripped.

The case has caused a huge row over women's rights and public decency.

Passers-by reportedly laughed and cheered when Ms Ngcukana was assaulted last month.

Traditional

"What we want to highlight is that women have rights - they have the right to choose what to wear," said Nonhlanhla Mokeona from the People Opposing Women Abuse (Powa) organisation.

She urged men to take part in the protest, to show they supported women's rights.

During Friday's march, some of the women exposed their thighs and breasts.

A group of taxi-drivers called the protesters "prostitutes" and then some also pulled down their trousers to show their buttocks.

The authorities have appealed to the taxi-drivers' association to help find those who allegedly assaulted Ms Ngcukana and other women in recent weeks.

While some South Africans have said it is against local culture for women to wear miniskirts, the National House of Traditional Leaders last week said that women often wore short skirts in traditional ceremonies.

What a load of horse s h i t! Black African women in tribal trust areas of South Africa wear little or no propper clothing, in fact, single women go topless and wear very little to cover their bodies, this is their culture. Jacob Zuma had no trouble raping a young black girl who came to see him wearing a mini skirt and his followers were all in favor of necklacing her for bringing him to book for her rape. Black males in South Africa consider women as objects for sexual pleasure, they have no rights in the tribal laws of the clan or tribe, they are there to bear children and to be used as whores for the men's pleasure. Anyone who knows anything about blacks in Africa or who has lived in that country for any length of time will know this. What black men are up in arms about is that their black women prostitute themselves to WHITE men and that is what eats their hearts out.......that their black women want white men because they are more likely to be treated other than objects of pleasure. In my years as a policeman, I have witnessed hundreds of black whores taking preference to white men over black men, this ever pisses the backward monkey off no end.

Just goes to show why modesty's important...

I agree with you OdKahaneChai!
Especially in Africa, women have to be modest considering the way black men view them as nothing more than sexual objects.
