29 year old Rabelani Ramali (pictured right), a community
worker from rural Limpopo province in South African has launched a
contest in the country where girls who are virgins at 35 and below
would be rewarded with R100,000 or less plus medals; gold, silver or bronze,
depending on their ages
Rabelani who has fathered five children by four women out of
wedlock, says he decided to come up with this idea to help checkmate the
rate of unwanted pregnancies and HIV cases amongst south African women.
He said his NGO, SA Virgin Girls Awards, which was registered in
November 2013, is set to take on this task as he has recruited 31
volunteer workers who would help disburse forms among women in schools,
market, churches and other places.
Rabelani said he has contacted local medical doctors who have
agreed to help him carry out the virginity test on the girls who would
come forward to get tested.
R100,000 would be given to virgins between the ages of 31 and
35, R50,000 for those aged 26 to 30 and R25000 for those aged 21 to 25.
He expects donors to make the prize money available to the winning
contestants.
