Lady allegedly raped by trusted friend she begged to walk her home
A South African lady has narrated how she was raped on Sunday night by a neighbour she trusted.
Happiness, who uses the moniker @Nomathenda on Twitter, in a thread, said she asked the neighbour to walk her home because she wanted to be safe.
However, the person in whom she trusts 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.

Justice will be served, dear… U will recover, refuse for him to take your soul! The best revenge is to work on getting back on your feet. Allow yourself to grief, cry, let it out, Constructively. Seek help, you don’t have to walk this journey alone. If u need a friend I’m here
@MookiMasuku added,
What do I even say? I can’t say sorry, that’s just lousy. I can’t say this too shall pass, I don’t think it will. I can only hope that with time that the emotional and physical scars of this horrible deed are eased, the perpetrator gets what he deserves and you find some healing

Dear daughter. I hope you have family and friends with you to lean on during this difficult time. I pray that they get the monster and lock him up. Praying for you to get the much-needed strength to go through this horrendous period.

Hi Sesi
