Nomsisi Bata from the Commission for Gender Equality said. "This will send a very clear message to other young women who are victims and survivors of sexual abuse. This young girl is determined to speak out about it and this does not happen often. The accused number 1 is having a lot of support and she is speaking her mind without fear of favour. And she is determined to speak the truth.I hope the law protects this girl."
