Swazi police ban 'rape-provoking' miniskirts

Law does not apply to costumes worn by women during ceremonies where King Mswati III may choose a wife [AFP]

Women in Swaziland risk arrest if they wear miniskirts or tops which expose part of their stomach as they will be violating moral standards, a police spokesperson has said. "I have read from the social networks that men and even other women have a tendency of 'undressing people with their eyes'" - Wendy Hleta, police spokesperson "The act of a rapist is made easy, because it would be easy to remove the half-cloth worn by the women," Wendy Hleta was quoted as saying. Offenders face a six-month jail term under the ban, which invokes a colonial criminal act dating back to 1889. The ban also applies to low-rise jeans. "They will be arrested," she said. Hleta said women wearing revealing clothing were responsible for assaults or rapes committed against them. "I have read from the social networks that men and even other women have a tendency of 'undressing people with their eyes'. That becomes easier when the clothes are hugging or are more revealing," Hleta said. Traditional costumes However, the ban does not apply to traditional costumes worn by young women during ceremonies like the annual Reed Dance, where the ruling King Mswati III chooses a wife. The monarch already has 13 wives. During the ceremony, beaded traditional skirts worn by young bare-breasted virgins cover only the front, leave the back exposed. Underwear is not allowed. The law was enforced after a march by women and young girls last month calling for protection against a spate of rapes in the impoverished kingdom, almost entirely surrounded by South Africa. According to a media report, the march was blocked by police.

Funke Akindele's Hubby, Almaroof Welcomes 6th Child From 2nd Wife

Going by report reaching us, Fadekemi, the second wife of Almaroof Oloyede, who is the husband of top Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has been delivered of a baby boy.

Aproko247 reported that Fadekemi gave birth to the child some days ago and the father is over excited about the arrival of the new born baby to the family at this festive period. The mother and child were also reported to be in a stable condition.

Earlier in the year, it was reported by a popular Lagos soft-sell magazine, E247 that Almaroof was expecting a sixth child from Fadekemi, who was then reported to have been devastated by the news of her hubby planning to get married to Funke at that time.

She was reportedly advised to leave the country for Dubai or London in order to save herself from the trauma of seeing her husband getting married to another woman while she was still pregnant at that time.

A family source close to Almaroof said that the story is true and confirmed that the child was given birth to around November.
