Swaziland Bus Drivers Issue Miniskirt Rape Threat Over 1,000 women protested in Swazilland this week after bus drivers gang-raped an 18 year old girl for wearing a miniskirt and threatened to do it again to any other women daring to wear 'revealing clothes'. "Women who wear miniskirts want to be raped," a conductor declared, "and we will give them what they want." (Daily Telegraph) According to the British Foreign Office, crime levels are usually relatively low in the Southern African country though their webiste recommends avoiding strolling after dark in the downtown areas of Mbabane and Manzini (where the attack happened). The UK government site also warns that Swaziland has the highest HIV/ AIDS infection rate in the world (38.6% of the population are infected, over half of whom are women) and also provides unusually detailed information on a recent sex scandal involving the country's leader, King Mswati III. "The mother of a girl selected to be one of the King's wives took legal action against the King's emissaries in 2002 for taking the girl without her permission, although she later dropped the court case," the FO website reveals. "The Director for Public Prosecutions was intimidated and threatened with dismissal by the Attorney General because of his involvement in the case of the 'abducted' fianc?e", they add.
