President Robert Mugabe has come
up with a solution to the growing
rate of rape and child abuse cases.
He said that castration of rapists
and child abusers is the best way to
stem the vice. The Zimbabwean
president reportedly made this
known while speaking during his
92nd birthday celebrations at the
Great Zimbabwe Monuments on
Saturday, February 26.
Mugabe said he was confused by
people who abuse minors.
"What sex impulse is it which
gets one to abuse a little
child? I wonder what enough
punishment for such people
is," he said. "Can you suggest
how such brutal monsters
amongst us that rape babies
should be punished …
burdizzo (castration device)
We should make them oxen,
some people should be
made oxen."
However, Mugabe noted that the
government is going to attract the
wrath of human rights defenders if
it were to go ahead with such a
plan.
"Again, human rights people
will say it (castration) is too
severe. Sharia Law says if you
use your hand to steal, that
hand must be cut off. Now
you use what to abuse the
child? I think that which you
use should be cut off. They
will go and get an artificial
one (I)think," he said, amid
laughter and applause from
the thousands of villagers
who braved the light
showers that characterised
the event.
The proposal seemed to get the
backing of Vice-President
Phelekezela Mphoko and Women’s
Affairs minister Nyasha Chikwinya,
