Why are you appalled at this specific report about South Africa?
When life is short and brutal, civilization breaks down.
Many areas of Africa have similar problems of murder, rape, gang
violence and tribal warfare.

Possibly more troubling is the US where about 20% of women report
having been raped at some time in their life. And you can probably
double that to allow for under-reporting, for obvious reasons.
