CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) - South Africa's Medical Research Council says that more than a quarter of men it surveyed admitted that they have raped a woman.

South Africa has the highest number of reported rapes in the world. Most experts say this is a result of its violent past and the legacy of apartheid, which often forced men to live in single-sex hostels away from their families.

The survey said that some 27 per cent of men interviewed said they had raped a woman, and that half of these had raped more than once. Nearly one in 10 took part in gang rapes.
