A young lady identified as Happiness Nomathenda has narrated how she was allegedly raped by a trusted neighbour after she asked him to walk her home in Limpopo, South Africa.
The young lady said she asked the trusted neighbor to walk her home because she wanted to be safe as it was already dark.
She revealed further that the so-called trusted neighbor turned out to be a monster when they got to her gate. According to her, he threw her on the floor, grabbed her by the throat and whispered, “fustk thula uyarasa” [Be quiet, don’t scream], before proceeding to rape her. She wrote.
“My neighbour raped me last night… I really wanna die right now
“I honestly never thought such wud happen to me especially with some1 soo close toe ladies pls buy pepper spray n Carry it with you all the time these dogs strike at anytime
“Asked him to walk me home coz I wanted to be safe I trusted him. When we got next to my gate things changed next thing I’m on the floor next thing he is strangling me, I’m on the floor “fustk thula uyarasa” he said….I trusted him.”
“I honestly nvr thought such wud happen to me especially with some1 soo close toe ladies pls buy pepper spray n Carry it with you all the time these dogs strike at anytime.” she tweeted.
Meanwhile, the Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini has called for castration of convicted rapists as rape and other sexual violence heightens in South Africa.
The king said it would be better if once a man was found to have raped, he should be handed to “men like us” to cut off his manhood.
