Her boyfriend she loved and trusted raped her back in May 2018. It affected her well being and she couldn’t cope. So she took her own life. But it was in fact her then boyfriend Sihle from Rhodes who took her life. Justice has not been served. #IBelieveYou #RIPKhensani pic.twitter.com/gOFn0IDTCP

Is it true? Did she report the rape? Only her knows why she took her life…. give a family space…. why is rape issue surfacing now? Why those who knew keep quiet?

Honestly starting to feel like these men don’t appreciate all the hardships women like mama winnie, mam Lilian, mam Charlotte Maxeke had to face just so women could be equal to men. Instead they’re just urinating all over their work! My fellow brothers, No means No
