By any name it’s a horror. In South Africa, where gay rights are supposed to be protected by the constitution, rape is being used as a weapon against homosexuality. It is called ‘corrective rape’. There are no statistics, just more and more accounts from lesbians who are under attack. In October, World’s Untold Stories meets women who say they are threatened, abused and raped by men who think they can teach them a lesson, men who think they can ‘cure’ them. Zukiswa Gaca refuses to be a victim. The 20-year-old can’t change who she is, but on a night in December of 2009, she was raped by a man who tried to do just that. Two years later, she’s still on a quest to find justice. She’s one of many South African gay women under attack, but one of the few willing to risk even more to press charges.

This October, MainSail looks at how some of the best sailing teams in the world stay at the top of their game, featuring the Rolex Maxi Cup in Sardinia.
Host Shirley Robertson investigates how two teams who won their respective classes last year have approached defending their titles, exploring whether it is harder to remain world’s number one than it is to make first place. Robertson has also led the ranks having won the Olympic Gold twice, and is with the man who has won Gold at the last three Olympic Games – if he is able to repeat the performance in 2012, Ben Ainslie will be the most successful Olympic sailor ever. The programme finds out just how Ainslie tries to stay on top of the world in the single-handed Finn class and also meets the Oracle Racing team who are out to defend the oldest trophy in sport, theAmerica’s Cup.
