Ja - it is the womens fault - by a woman nog al!!! - Women sometimes are the instrument of their own oppression. You find them in the villages, churches, in muslim communities schools etc - upholding cultural values of course.

@Flemza - Shame on you and all stupid-minded people who equate what women wear to to being abused or taken advantage of.

Why can't you macho, macho men sheath your loins and be responsible?

When you men walk around bare-chested, you don't see us ladies salivating and falling over ourselves to grab a bit of you, no?

Besides these same people asking the students to wear traditional outfits. Not only are they inconvenient, the saris bare women's midriffs which show far more than t-shirts.

@ Flemza and OmoT
Look guys there is something that is called dress code and what is it for. In South Africa you find women dressed like the "ladies of the night" in public. What is that? Is it not public indecency? What about the rights of people who are offended by that kind of dressing? Remember section 36 of the RSA Constitution Act...Limitations of the right.

This whole rumpus requires the legalization of nudity. Will that be OK?
