Oprah at her Academy for girls in South Africa

Because there is a myth that if you sleep with a virgin, your HIV will be cured, so these older men/widows living with the virus kidnap very young girls who are very likely virgins, thereby spreading the disease.

Luckily some of these teenage girls have escaped this tradition.

Though council heads have now apologized for this notorious acts in the remote parts of South Africa...there has been no report of "Ugu Twala" lately, what needs to be done is the rehabilitation of these young girls who have escaped this tradition.
