South Africa: Sexual abuse of same sex not necessarily gay

Assumptions of relating sexual abuse of same sex to homosexuality abound lately in South Africa where the public could not draw the difference. This comes in the wake of Tiny Virginia Makopo’s case of 29 July – recently postponed to Sebokeng Magistrates Court for October hearing this year – where the former dormitory matron at Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy pleaded not guilty on fourteen charges including assault, indecent assault, crimen injuria and indecent acts against young girls whom she had to fend for at the academy.
