North West Premier Thandi Modise has suggested that chemical castration of perpetrators of sexual violence might serve as a deterrent to reduce the scourge of rape.

Modise has vowed to lead a campaign to lobby for chemical castration given the unacceptable high levels of rape.

Modise spokesperson Lesiba Kgwele said Premier Modise who herself is a victim of rape in her teens has vowed to lead a campaign to lobby for chemical castration given the unacceptable level that the scourge has reached across the country.

Kgwele adds the premier announced that she will embark on a crusade and reiterated her call for real men to stand up to be counted against the scourge of rape at the inauguration of the newly nominated provincial council on Aids held in Mafikeng.
