'SA has Guinness world record for rapes'
Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 07:51 AM by dArKeR
Both the Guinness Book Of Records and Interpol say South Africa is the country with the highest rate of rapes, many of them against children, a conference in Cape Town heard on Friday.

Friday was the final day of the 25th anniversary conference of the Child Accident Prevention Foundation of Southern Africa.

"There are about 50 000 reported cases every year in South Africa, 50 percent of which are against children. The police's child protection unit estimates that only one in 15 child rapes are reported, with about 160 000 rapes of under 18s.
