Raping white men 'in revenge' by black males - or threatening white men with gangrape by black prisoners to force them to 'confess' to crimes they never committed -- occurs frequently in South Africa but is hardly ever reported by the local news media. It happens particularly often in trial-awaiting prisons and police-cells. Various incidents have been recorded over the past 18 years:
==============
For the past 19 years, a growing trend has been noticed in South Africa of the growing number of human-rights violations by the SA policing authorities -- where
specifically Afrikaners and English-speaking white males are arrested on trumped-up charges, often related to fraudulent sexual- or ‘hate-speech’ claims, put through the ordeal of a high-profile arrest accompanied by massive news-media reporting: often their names and photos are published before they have even been charged and asked to plead in a
court of law. These arrested white men are often also denied the right to apply for bail and are forced to spend long periods of time in trial-awaiting incarceration - where they face frequent sexual abuse from black inmates: some of the victims afterwards have the courage to come forward to speak of their ordeal, many men are too ashamed to ever speak of it publicly.
EXAMPLES: UK businessman gangraped in St Albans Prison near PE: "to show their supremacy over a white man: I was the only white man in that trial-awaiting cell":
UK businessman Sean Smith: gang-raped up to 8 times a day for 19 months in St. Albans prison near Port Elizabeth, South Africa: he told the British news media after he was released that the black males were gangraping him each day ‘to show their supremacy over a white man: I was the only white man in that trial-awaiting cell'. ---- UK-born businessman Sean Smith was arrested on trumped up ‘fraud’ charges, thrown in the St Albans prison in a cell with 90 other black prisoners, where he was gang-raped up to 8 times a day for a period of 19 months - until the UK High Commissioner was able to get him bail and smuggled him from South Africa to Lesotho in the trunk of an official UK government vehicle. The businessman has contracted AIDS and also is suffering from cancer.

Mail and Guardian report: http://mg.co.za/article/2014-04-11-men-are-also-corrective-rape-victims
Many men, thanks to social stigmas, are ashamed to report sexual hate crimes – but they are almost as common as they are against lesbians.
Report by Mail and Guardian: South Africa April 11 2014
Outspoken advocate: In 2007 Galip Asvat, a hair salon business owner, was raped by three men in a foyer of his apartment building in Hillbrow. (Oupa Nkosi)
Galip Asvat is a talkative, self-assured and opinionated gay man. He speaks freely about his life, his struggles and his accomplishments, which include co-founding a chain of
successful salons in Jo'burg. He is not shy and only lowers his voice when disclosing sensitive information about others – until we begin to speak about his brutal rape.
Asvat was born in Klerksdorp, North West, and lived most of his life in conservative Indian neighbourhoods. In the early 2000s he moved to Hillbrow, which had become a haven
for the gay and lesbian community during the 1990s. In the early hours of one morning in 2007, a gang of three men ambushed him in the foyer of his apartment building.
"They thought I was a woman, and when they found out I was a man, that's when they became even more violent," Asvat says. "They kept saying 'stabane … stabane' [Sesotho
for 'you're gay, you're gay']. They beat me so badly that my eyes were swollen shut. They hit my teeth out. There was blood everywhere. They even wanted to cut my privates off,
but I'm lucky someone disturbed them."
As he recalls his attack, Asvat barely makes eye contact and strays from the matter several times. But, as hard as it is for him, he is adamant that his story must be told to help
young people like him.
In 2003, world-renowned photo-grapher Zanele Muholi and activist Kekeletso Khena set out to document the rapes of black lesbian women in a campaign called The Rose Has
Thorns. Khena described these rapes as "corrective rape", a practice by which men try to "turn you into a real African woman".
The term has since evolved to include the rape of any lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, intersexual, asexual or queer (LGBTIAQ) person to get them to "behave" the way
heterosexuals do. A recent United States state department human rights report says that some gay men and lesbians in Zimbabwe have been raped and forced into heterosexual
marriages by people seeking to "convert" them. Instances of corrective rape in countries such as Jamaica and Thailand have since begun to surface in the media – all in an effort
to put an end to this brutal practice.
The dynamics are different when people born male are attacked, but one thing remains constant: the violent action of supposedly "teaching" those who deviate from society's
patriarchal norm a lesson.
So gay men and trans-women – people who have or are in the process of having their sex changed from male to female – become targets of corrective rape.
Not uncommon
Although instances of corrective rape of men are thought to be uncommon, a 2003 study conducted by Out LGBT Well-Being (Out) and the University of South Africa Centre for
Applied Psychology (UCAP) discovered a very different story.
"We found that the percentage of black gay men who said they have experienced corrective rape matched that of the black lesbians who partook in the study," says Professor
Juan Nel, a specialist in hate-crime criminology at UCAP.
When asked whether this was reflected in South Africa's crime statistics, Brigadier Bafana Linda says he cannot say for certain because rape statistics are not broken down in
such detail. Linda, who is the section head of the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offenses Investigations Unit in the South African Police Service, adds that, given
that most women don't report their rapes, one can only imagine how few men come forward.
"It might have something to do with the stigmatisation. It might have to do with misconceptions that, if they go there to [report it], people might laugh at them," he says.
During the course of an investigation by the youth organisation loveLife's Uncut magazine team, we came across four cases of male corrective rape, but only one person agreed
to have their story published.
"I never reported my rape [to the police]," says Asvat. "I didn't want my family to find out because that is like [embarrassing] for them. I dealt with it myself and with the help of my
friends." Nor did he have any confidence in the authorities. "I once reported a robbery to the police thinking maybe they will do something, but they didn't."
Reporting rapes can prevent HIV
But his fear of being ridiculed by authorities and the community had dire consequences: he believes he contracted HIV from one of his attackers. This is something that could
have been avoided if he had undergone preventative antiretroviral treatment within 72 hours of the rape incident. This HIV prophylaxis treatment is available free of charge in the
public health sector to rape survivors who report their rape.
Linda says it is very unfortunate when a rape survivor does not come forward because they fear discrimination, especially as all police are trained to handle sexual offences, as
required by the Sexual Offences Amendment Act. He encourages rape survivors to report discriminatory behaviour by police to station commanders.
"Yes, there is more work to be done within field services in terms of sensitising police towards issues of sexual violence, but it is even more important for civil society to address
them. The issue of stigma doesn't stem from the police service but from the larger community," he adds.
A good start to addressing corrective rape would be recognising it for what it is: a hate crime. This is the sentiment of Phindi Malaza, advocacy officer at the Forum for the
Empowerment of Women. He says the Equality Act, passed in 2000, only protects the public against hate crimes based on race and sex – not sexual orientation.
"On paper we have freedom – the right to live how we see fit. But this is just on paper and not on the ground," Malaza says. "These attacks are a message [of intolerance] to the
entire [LGBTIAQ] community, and we get this message clearly."
Nel believes that attackers should be the receivers and not the senders of this message. "Strengthening hate-crime legislation will send a clear message to society that such
crimes will not be tolerated."
Earlier this year, Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Jeff Radebe said government is preparing to strengthen its response to hate crimes, including hate speech.
Linda is part of the working group tasked to make this happen. In consultation with the LGBTIAQ community, they are currently drafting a proposal for a Bill to address corrective
rape and hate crimes, as well as establishing a national helpline to address these issues.
Until such a time that these policies are passed by Parliament, gay men and trans-women like Asvat will have to "man up" – whether they choose to or not.
Four years after his rape incident, Asvat decided to keep quiet about it any longer: "I started to speak out about it. There is no sense in [cooping] it up inside. You have to deal
with the situation. Speaking out about it makes you stronger and helps you to face the situation. It's better than keeping it inside and hiding from people for the rest of your life."

centres, adolescent and youth-friendly clinics and schools nationwide from Monday April 14
