Bus drivers in Swaziland have threatened to rape any female passenger seen wearing a miniskirt.
They have banned women from wearing revealing clothes on buses after three men were arrested for allegedly gang-raping an 18-year-old schoolgirl at a bus station in the town of Manzini.
Witnesses said the men - a bus driver and two conductors - shouted abuse at the girl for wearing a miniskirt.
When about 1,000 women demonstrated against the attack, drivers and conductors threatened to do the same again. One conductor said: "Women who wear miniskirts want to be raped, and we will give them what they want."
On one hand, it's funny. On the other, it's kinda disturbing.
