'When I pee, I pee like a woman' - Caster Semenya hit out at those questioning her gender

South African Olympic champion and intersex athlete, Caster Semenya, has again come out to angrily react to those questioning her gender after having done verification tests eight years ago.

In a rare interview, Caster who is gearing up for the London World Championships to compete in the 1500m as well as 800m described what it felt like to have her entire existence questioned by people.

Speaking to Dr. Ali Bacher on SuperSport, the renowned runner said it felt like the entire world had seen her stripped naked.

"I don't understand when you say I have an advantage because I am a woman. When I pee, I pee like a woman. I don't understand when you say I am a man or I have a deep voice," she said.

Caster explained that the entire process left her confused, but she didn't let it overpower her inner-strength.

According to her, she was dumbfounded by claims that she changed her gender when she was younger.

"How the hell can you change gender in the rural areas? I am a woman. We don't have good doctors, we are not rich to do such procedures," Caster said.

In 2009, After Semenya won the world title as a 19-year-old, tests reportedly revealed that she was hyperandrogenous, resulting in her body producing an abnormally high amount of testosterone, which makes her more powerful than her rivals.

Although, before she won the world title competitors raised concerns over whether she was eligible to compete as a female. The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) confirmed at the time that Caster had undergone a gender verification process.

The 26-year-old South African who is a favourite for the 800m at the London World Championships, is, however, focusing on making history and not getting distracted by her gender controversy.

According to friends on Facebook, the deceased popularly known as "Soch Money" suffered from malaria before her death. See a post by one of her friends below:

"RIP SENIOR SOCHIMA ILLOKA, a.k.a SOCH MONEY
She was my senior in secondary school then, she left this world yesterday after a brief illness (Malaria), MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE AMEN. It is really a sad news that a young lady with a bright future like her died but the truth is that no one can reject death, I have been thinking about her demise since yesterday, I was saying that "she is too young to die", then I remembered that there are some people that are more younger than her that are no more. This is just to remind us that we are on a journey in this world, no matter what we are doing on earth, let us keep in mind that no one knows his or her date of death, some people would be wondering how an ordinary malaria can kill someone, my dear, if God says it's over, an ordinary sneeze can take you away, her death really touched me and it shows that we are nothing on this earth, we are dust and we shall return to where we belong, only the spirit will go for judgment. Let us not relent in being careful the way we live our life, everyday is not Christmas, one day you might wake up and see your body lying on the bed and you can't go back to it, death is a respecter of no one, if you like be rich, poor, beautiful, ugly, it doesn't matter, what matters is where we would spend our life eternally. BE CAREFUL HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE! NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEXT SECOND!! REST IN PEACE DEAR SOCH...None expected it so soon.

Just 10 days after, Anthony Scaramucci has been removed as White House communications director

Donald Trump's White House has got to be the craziest in history. People are being fired and hired on a weekly basis. Looks like accepting a position in the white house is a career killer. White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci is out of the job after less than 10 days into the post.



The former financier, who took the job last Friday, had drawn criticism after calling a reporter to give a profanity-laced tirade against his colleagues.



The decision to let him go was reportedly made by President Trump's new chief of staff, John Kelly.



Scaramucci is the third White House communications director to leave the post that had been vacant since May, when Mike Dubke left after about three months on the job. Sean Spicer, the former White House press secretary, also assumed some of the communications director role before he resigned when Scaramucci was hired on July 21.

Men Must Resist The Practice Of 'blessers' (sugar Daddy) And Prostituting Young Women'' - South Africa's Deputy President, Ramaphosa

South African Deputy President, Cyril Ramaphosa, spoke about the need for men to organise themselves in a sustained campaign against gender-based violence. He also advised men to stop objectifying women and resist the practice of prostituting young women.

Speaking at the Rhema Bible Church in Randburg during a special sermon on no violence against women and children‚ Ramaphosa said that just as had been done during the apartheid struggle all sectors of society needed to be mobilised against this scourge.

“In working to end violence against women and children‚ we need to ensure that men are centrally involved" he said.

"Men need to organise themselves in a sustained campaign against gender-based violence. Individually and collectively‚ they need to understand that their actions now will determine the kind of society our children live in tomorrow‚”

Ramaphosa said‚ adding that society must combat the objectification of women.

“We should reject the idea of women as possessions of men and resist the practice of ‘blessers’ and prostituting young women.

“We must help women reclaim agency over their lives and bodies. The time has come for all of us to speak with one voice and take a stand.

"Just as we did during the apartheid struggle we must mobilise all sectors of society against this scourge. The Church must take responsibility‚ men must take responsibility and I must take responsibility.

“By becoming agents of change‚ men can not only help liberate women from oppression but also liberate themselves as perpetrators of inhumane savagery‚” Ramaphosa added.
