Outrage over anti-rape device

FURIOUS South African women have called for a controversial new anti-rape device, dubbed a "rat trap", to be banned.The tampon-like device, invented by a woman, supposedly protects women from rapists by cutting into a man's penis.
It has sparked an impassioned debate over the high number of rapes committed each day in the country and the authorities' apparent failure to tackle the issue.
The furore comes as South Africa opens its biggest ever AIDS conference, with Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang questioning whether life-saving antiretroviral drugs alone can turn back the disease.
