Live sexual assault on Big Brother Africa.

I'm really quite stunned by this.

Producers of reality television show "Big Brother Africa" are being accused of attempting to cover up an incident of sexual assault.

Viewers of the Oct. 27 show say they witnessed 24-year-old Richard Bezuidenhout strip the clothes off of two of his intoxicated housemates and proceed to use his fingers to penetrate the vagina of comatose 29-year-old Ofunneka Molokwu.

Under the Republic of South Africa Sexual Offenses Amendment Bill, such an act constitutes sexual violation.

The act iself is bad enough. You'd think after something so horrific had taken place the producers and television executives would be on top of it right? I mean, Endemol UK kicked out one of the BB7 contestants for using the n word in an attempt to be edgy.

Well, despite viewer protest, that isn't what's happened in South Africa.

According to some papers they are:

They say the network censored clips of the incident, removing threads discussing it from their Web site forum and not displaying SMS text messages (which are normally always shown) about the incident on the ticker that runs across the bottom of the screen.

A search for "sexual assault" on the Big Brother Africa Web site forum turned up zero results.

Who is big brother to 'Big Brother Africa 2'?

And say

"There is no indication that she was unconscious at the time," said Joseph Hundah, an executive at M-Net.

Big Brother horror show

That's despite viewers who saw the live clips saying quite the opposite.

I'm not actually sure who is more vile, the foul attacker sniffing his fingers or Endemol SA.
