Reality TV now has an infamous mantle of being the place to see reality rape... Big Brother Africa is coming under heavy fire from critical audiences who are none-too-pleased that they were viewers of sexual assault.
Contestant Richard Bezuidenhout used his fingers to penetrate an unconscious housemate, Ofunneka Molokwu, after she had passed out from drinking too much. In South Africa, where the show is filmed, such an act is considered rape.

Bezuidenhout has enraged people around the globe with his indifferent apology. When further pressed, he replied:
Contestant Richard Bezuidenhout used his fingers to penetrate an unconscious housemate, Ofunneka Molokwu, after she had passed out from drinking too much. In South Africa, where the show is filmed, such an act is considered rape.
From nowpublic.com:
"Viewers of the incident, which took place on Saturday afternoon after an extended drinking bout which ended in copious vomiting and apparent blackout for Molokwu, remain adamant about what they saw: Bezuidenhout lay down next to the comatose young woman and penetrated her vagina with his fingers. He carried on despite the pleas of another female housemate for him stop. Under the law in South Africa - where, on average, a woman is sexually assaulted every 40 seconds - such an act constitutes rape."
Bezuindehout, defending his sexual behaviour in a show that has featured copious nudity, recently told his housemates, "Well, this is Africa."
