Is there any difference between rapists and men who strip women for wearing mini skirts and dresses

Thank you all for taking part in this discussion. This Live Update has been closed but you can still comment at the bottom.

Patriarchal BullShit is at play here. Prescribing what women must wear. That's Africa will remain poor, ravaged by war and conflict people are just ignorant & refuse to think.

More sadly is the subtle religious undertone at play here. Yall Religious folks SIT THE FUCK down Zim is not a christian country but a secular one!

Is there freedom of expression and tolerance in Zim? Pple should wear what they like,whether its ibhetshu or bikini.

It was better and wise to advise her to go and dress properly than to strip her in the street.

Vanahwindi njere ishoma.

why stripping her in da first place,what was their motive,this bad.

Government must put tight laws for people like this these are the pple who rape women if they meet them in them in hidden places

The problem lies deep rooted in education and these hwindis not having a soul purpose in life. I say who so ever strips a lady in a taxi rank must he themselves be stripped and flogged in public...utter scum.

I hope you dont have any kids all you supporters of these rapists. God forbid that happens to your daughters maybe then this will hit home.

against satanism you should go and learn to spell first before uttering nonsense here. These hwindis need to be improsoned. Who the hell are they to strip a woman? dont care even if she was just wearing underwear...What has that to dodwith them?

leave them the way they are(smart lyon)

BOTH ARE TO BE BLAMED, NO JUSTIFICATION AT ALL.WHY WALKING HALF NAKED AND WHY STRIPPING AND TAKING THE LAW IN YOUR OWN HANDS?

"Is there any difference between rapists and men who strip women for wearing mini skirts and dresses"

Why not look up the meaning of the word 'rape'? lol

who defines what short is ?, if it was a white person no one would have stripped her, this is embarrassing, we expect such behavior from bush people not from a country that claims to be educated, the picture only shows her naked, we wanted to see what she was wearing before,

Interesting topic

...ababotshwe laba bantu...zinyamazana zabantu...

its a free country, who are these hwindis to decide who should wear what and where? this woman am sure akabuda mumba mune vabereki....its lack of education among these hwindis that makes them do this...no wonder the BYO City Council has ordered them to do some PR lessons.

@Elvis Derango Ndlovu Yes, but we condone people who put the Law in their hands, that is why they are people who get paid for it !!! Zvawakadzidza wani?

betty and sindiso, I am waiting for my response. Are you going to try it out???walk naked today to and from the shops.

I do not see any rape in this. Have you guys sindiso and betty seen your mothers walking in the streets half naked or naked? Why do you pretend to advocate for nudity. It beets me.

Betty, I wouldnt epect any less from you. However, tell all your constituency that if they walk half naked, they will be assisted. I do not frnkly see the reason why these guys should be punished. Are you saying its well and fine for women to walk around naked? If not what is the minimum size of a skirt. Betty and sindiso, try it out today, walk around naked or even half naked. Imimi vanabetty why do you wear thosae long dresses and decent clothes and at the same time advocate for nudity?

Thats two defferent thinkx its like petlol n palafin kuhlukile striping they is something needed to happen weather rape or punish,
ok if isgebengu sibanjwa umphakathi besishaya banokukhumula impahla ngabe irape leyo

A lesson learnt to all who want to show us their private parts he got a lesson of his lifetime morals are really going down in many places.

this is public attempted rape. they must be arrested and brought to the court for judgement. moreover they
r suppose to report to the police everyday for disciplinary action.

They should be locked up period or even treated the same as rapists

two wrongs don't make a right period !! they had no right to do so !!

this is shocking.why did they think stripping her naked could be better tahn stripping her naked.the culprits must be arrested and punished severely.this impunity perpetuates more violence against wome .sad this primitive lives goes on right in our eyes.

When God created Adam , he did not dress him and he did not call the place where Adam was " Sodom " Adam dressed himself because of sin . Dressing code is not from God , but from the Devil . The devil uses our bodies for his own devilish things , that's why he made us cover every part of our bodies .

Those are rapists and must be treated as such by the law .

Here in hillbrow,its "sodom&gomora,maar wen it happens back home its not okay.ladies mst cover themselves properly,she mst try that in iraq

If she was naked then they wouldn't have stripped her so that mean they stripped her while she had something on, these are these people who end up raping women because they can not ask them out

Sindiso, Must we remain naked because we were born naked?????

No one has the right to be naked in zimbabwe chizzy. The law doesnot allow that. If the touts had not stripped her, no one was going to give her a kanga, that means she was going to spend the rest of the day naked. The touts assisted her to be dressed up by well wishers.

@against satanism You sound like one of them, people were born naked remember

You sound like one of them, people were born naked remember

Chizzy and company, you dont intepret the law like that. The fact that the touts might meted instant justice does mean that the act is babaric. We saw people leaving their workstations and offices coming to watch and whistle while these good guys meted instant justice

If anything, this woman must be arrested for indecent exposure, Godfrey you must be aware of this piece of legislation. The crowd was not going to wait for the police, this woman was not only breaking our law but also sinning against God. She was not going to be allowed by the alert touts. Never. Godfrey, if you must send you sister to the shops half naked and you will know that it should never be done, at least not in Zimbabwe.
Brian, You are impotent, we cant discuss this matter with you.

its quite an unfortunate scenario,given that each one of us has the right to put on wat we like..this is an act of hooliganism since it was perpetrated by the hwindiz who are always heavily intoxicated with watever its !

If you rape a woman you are not a man,you are a beast.If you cant control yourself with what a woman is wearing you have no reason and are subject to instict therefore you are a beast

Where were the police? I suggest the media and society leaders should not give this incident a passing glance. It should be highlighted and petitioned to the authorities and the law should be set in motion to deal with these savages. The police must be prompted in the same way as would be the case in the aftermath of a murder. It should not be regarded as a mere story of ridicule and fun but should be condemmed in the strongest of terms. The danger with such people is that if they are allowed to continue, their barbaric actions might evoke uncontrollable rage among some victims or their parents who might be unable to restrain themselves; imagine a father whose daughter has been so humiliated and he has access to a gun!

Well said Mbizo

so man should not respect the public by stripping innocent women in public

Mini-skirts must be 'Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to stay interesting'

Is this act of violation any deferent from rape? lets discuss. I DO NOT THINK THE ACT IS TANTAMOUNT TO RAPE IS IT WERE.INFACT SHE WAS ABUSING THE PUBLIC AND IN ESSENCE ACTUALLY COMMITING RAPE HERSELF. WOMAN MUST RESPECT THE PUBLIC

Kanti alazi ukuthi isono sendoda siqala ngokubona? Njengalokho esomfazi siqala ngoku thintwa? The effect of an improperly dressed woman on a man seeing her is the same as that of a man touching a woman on her breasts, waist and privates. We respect women, but they must also respect us by dressing modestly.

no one in their right full mind can walk the streets naked, if they do so thats why this Ngutsheni the people who strip them are more mad than them then

MTWAKAZI OMUHLE, PLEASE TELL THE SISTER AND THE AUNTS THAT IF THEY COME TO TOWN NAKED, THEY WILL BE ASSISTED FURTHER BY WELL WISHERS

Jimogo is right, she obviously was not even dressed up herself, she must have enjoyed it when she was stripped.

hapana chakashata apa ndozvaaitsvaka hwcn she dress like tht toda madzimai ane hunhu isu,keep the good wek mahwindi.

SOME MINI-SKIRTS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY SHORT. LADIES MUST CHECK THEMSELVES IN THE MIRROR BEFORE THEY GO OUT.

sindiso must know how different men are from women. You dont just say because men wear shorts so women should walk naked, HAYI! you will be assisted to achieve you desires.

we have seen so many woman dressed in mini skirts but they were never stripped off,this 1 was jus as gud as walking naked so she deserved that punishment,anga akanyanya n saw her akamama.

eGodini is a revolutionary place, these women must not come with that tendency, that tendency that they can walk naked. Naked is whats in their skirts, they must respect everyone and hantsho vele they will be advertising. Its just unfortunate that these boys want to touch without paying

tHIS WAS AND IS A GOOD LESSON TO WOULD BE PROSTITUTES. BULAWAYO WOULD NOT HAVE THIS AGAIN, HECHO CHABVONDOKA

women must learn how to dress, if you dress like you are in a strip show how do you expect people to say, women think that by going outside half naked men will propose them , shame on you idiots

Men should stop wearing shorts as well

This is not deferent from rape, the police should arrest these culprits...they deserve a life in jail, ndimatshimba avhathu vho-windy zwamitshova vhavhona unga avhafareyi.

Where national laws allows people to be naked, the touts will take the law into their hands. DO NOT WALK IN TOWN OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER, NAKED.PERIOD

People should know when and where not to dress, if you go to eGodini naked then you must be prepared to really get naked

If you pray for rain, you must also accept the mud. The touts did very well. Tghis was a good lesson to these prostitutes

put them in jail forever!

bUT WHY WALK NAKED? zIMBABWE MUST SAY NO TO PROSTITUTION AND RELATED BEHAVIOURS

This is wrong I think the police is also to blame they have been letting this happen for all along

Those pple are just as gud as rapists, they deserve to die behind bars, they have no reason to live because they are stuck in the stone age, they must budget that money they make at Egodini and just go out, i mean travel and see the world in reality. Mxx, vhathu vha hayani vha ddo u mangadza ngoho.

everyone has a right this is total abuse these touts should be brought to book if shops are allowed to sell so there is no problem to purchase and wear am a parent am so hurt

there is no difference between the strippers and rapists , these touts should be send to jail and let rot there. God have mercy.

@Anonymous user its as bad as rape

This is just barbaric man, they are just as good as rapists, Why for good’s sake would one strip a woman for wearing a short skirt or tight fitting clothes? Only sexually jealous mad men do that. First of all, everyone including those bafoons who strip women for wearing mini skirts, have the freedom and right to wear what they want, so what makes them think what they are wearing themselves is decent? Some man go around wearing tight muscle tops and vests benuka amakhwapha but no one has a problem with that. Please bandla lets respect women and let them feel free to wear what they want and leave judgement and punishment for God if its wrong.

They are wrong to do it. Its actually sexual assault I think, but its not rape. My question is 'Why Why Why did she have to expose herself to possible assault in an area where we all know people behave rowdily against girls in mini skirts.
