 “I didn’t have money for a cab and I couldn’t find anyone to give me a lift. I called a friend to see If he could give me a lift home. Indeed, he came and picked me up. He fetched me, but I noticed as we drove off that he took a route that was not headed to where I lived. When I asked him about it, he said he wanted to go home" said Vatiswa Ndara

When they arrived at the man's home, Ndara remained in the car while the man went inside. Instantly, he returned and invited her inside. Unknowingly, Ndara made her way inside the house and was also offered a house tour which ended up to her being taken advantage of.

“He came back to invite me in and when I entered, I noticed that it was quiet and dimly lit. I asked him where his wife was, and he told me she had gone home to her family. A violation of my physical form and a violation of my spirit; where I would experience humiliation in its highest form" said Vatiswa Ndara

Ndara is still perplexed, bewildered and discombobulated by the arrogance once the man has taken advantage her, he also took her home. Later on, Ndara opened a case of rape at the Rosebank Police Station in Johannesburg and the case has been moved for investigation.
