This is a term used to refer to raping someone who is homosexual to "cure them" of their sexual orientation.We had numerous cases over the years where gays and lesbians are raped to be cured.This is a result of illiteracy among ethnic groups as they frame homosexuality as a sin from religion and cultural point of view.South Africa has one of the most advanced constitutions in the world that protects gays and lesbians.But the media and government are not doing enough to campaign against homophobia by implemanting educational programmes and news stories that will Frame homosexuality in positive way.People model what they see in the media and if it is framed in a positive way people will end up accepting it.It is about time the media play its part to end the negative stereotypes against homosexuality.
