http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=139&art_id=nw20080304170536267C648930 Castrate taxi drivers, says miniskirt protest Hundreds of men and women protested in Johannesburg on Tuesday against a recent attack on a miniskirt-clad woman at the city's Noord Street Taxi Rank. One of the protesters, Wendy Morgan, said she thought the taxi drivers needed to be castrated. Radio personality Redi Direko, dressed in a miniskirt, orange strap top, and high-heel sandals, led a group of miniskirt-wearing women in a march from the Art Gallery. They demanded an end to assaults on women who chose to "dress up and embrace their femininity. "Drivers need to be taught how to behave, this doesn't end here, there is no dress code for women who frequent the taxi rank, and we say to the drivers 'mind your job'," Direko said. She was speaking to taxi association bosses once the mass of people reached the taxi rank. The protesters wore T-shirts saying "[edited by admin] off women" and chanted songs while holding placards reading "We love our minis", "We aren't road signs, you need to respect us", and "There are no shortcuts to women's rights". The march was the second this month in reaction to an attack last month by taxi drivers and hawkers on a 25-year-old woman, Nwabisa Ngcukana, for wearing a miniskirt. Taxi drivers and hawkers allegedly tore off her clothing because she was being "taught a lesson about wearing a miniskirt". They also allegedly put their fingers in her private parts while others poured alcohol over her head and called her names. Taxi drivers gathered at the rank, screaming and whistling at the women who were wearing miniskirts. A nearby woman was asked to translate what they were saying and said: "They are saying that women need to be taught a lesson, they should not wear skirts or short tops at the rank, because they are provoking the men." Said protester Wendy Morgan: "I have a daughter, and if she had to go through what that girl went through, I would hunt down those who are responsible. We want this abuse to stop right now." Another elderly woman watching the march (who did not want to be named) said that women should dress more appropriately. "There is no African culture left these days... Women should not be wearing such short skirts," she said. A Muslim store owner from Pakistan said he agreed women should not wear short skirts and walk on the street, and that women from his religion were not allowed to do so. - Sapa |

I fully support and welcome the miniskirt. Slightly different view about having my knackers chopped off.

I wonder what the IOL view of the miniskirt is? The NTA dont have a view, and I cannot see them making any view known in the near future. Obviously we await the GMB view with interest

I wonder if this taxi association had a ballot before deciding on whether to sexually assault this unfortunate lady. And further more did the Taxi association participate in the attack? Perhaps this is what they mean by brothers unite? Regards JD |

They were foreign drivers? I find it quite strange that a migrant worker would wish to bring their own culture and Religious beliefs to another country, then wish to impose them on everyone.

I understand the mini Skirt is currently going through a revival but obviously not it South Africa. Its a shame really because they have some shapely women out there well suited to a mini skirt. lol I often wondered how the South Africans investigated diamond miners who shoved stolen diamonds up their backside when they left the mine after a days shift? Could it have been a rubber glove job or did they have a spy probe shoved up their rear end? lol Regards JD |
