Don't think I'd like to meet this lady in a banana plantation! Sounds like a suitable punishment for the horrible rape of a young girl. It's a shame Uganda doesn't do more to help rape victims, especially in light of the weird 'Rape and Beg' phenomenon.

37-year old Angelina Kyomugisha cut off Geoffrey Mugarura’s penis after she found him allegedly raping her young daughter.

Kyomugisha was weeding her banana plantation when she heard her daughter’s cries for help.

When she saw what was happening, she pounced on Mugarura and chopped off his member, before flinging it into the bushes.

“She knew what was right for her daughter,” said Solome Nakawesi from the Akina Mama Wa Africa women’s rights organisation.
