Anyone who thinks apartheid was purely a race issue needs to rethink things; as yet another example of its patriarchal, supremacist policies has surfaced. Dr Aubrey Levin, the man known to his colleagues as Dr Shock has ushered, not only his own horrific history into the spotlight, but that of the Aversion Project and other examples of torture and mutilation inflicted on people to force them to conform, to be heterosexual and to be, in the arrogant eyes of the regime, the "right" gender.
On March 11, Martin Ssempa was a guest on Michael Brown's radio show, Line of Fire. I was invited to join in but I was teaching at the time the show aired. The program is online here.
