جنایت در آفریقای جنوبی
جنایات خشونت آمیز > تجاوز جنسی و خشونت جنسی

آفریقای جنوبی یکی از بالاترین نرخ‌های تجاوز در جهان را دارد، با گزارش حدود ۶۵,۰۰۰ تجاوز و سایر حملات جنسی برای سال پایان یافته در مارس ۲۰۱۲، معادل ۱۲۷.۶ مورد به ازای هر ۱۰۰,۰۰۰ نفر در کشور. وقوع بالای تجاوز باعث شده است که این کشور به عنوان "پایتخت تجاوز جهان" شناخته شود.[170] یک سوم از ۴,۰۰۰ زنی که توسط جامعه اطلاعات، توانمندسازی و شفافیت مورد پرسش قرار گرفتند، اعلام کردند که در سال گذشته مورد تجاوز قرار گرفته‌اند. بیش از ۲۵٪ از مردان آفریقای جنوبی که در یک نظرسنجی منتشر شده توسط شورای تحقیقات پزشکی (MRC) در ژوئن ۲۰۰۹ شرکت کردند، به تجاوز اعتراف کردند؛ از این میان، تقریباً نیمی گفتند که بیش از یک نفر را تجاوز کرده‌اند. سه نفر از هر چهار نفر که به تجاوز اعتراف کرده بودند، اشاره کردند که برای اولین بار در دوران نوجوانی دست به حمله زده‌اند. آفریقای جنوبی یکی از بالاترین نرخ‌های تجاوز به کودکان و نوزادان را در جهان دارد،[  و خشونت جنسی همچنان یک آفت در مراکز مراقبت روزانه، مدارس، کالج‌ها، دانشگاه‌ها و کلیساها باقی می‌ماند. تجاوز قانونی به وضوح شایع است، به طوری که تقریباً ۷۰۰ تولد در سال ۲۰۲۰ ثبت شد که مادران آن‌ها ۹ یا ۱۰ ساله بودند. یک واحد رفتار جنسی برای SANDF در نظر گرفته شده است که تعدادی از سربازان را به دلیل تجاوز جنسی محکوم کرده و اخراج کرده است.
