Yester night I watched Motswako and I was so so shocked. It was about family rape. Sometimes i real wonder what other think is the meaning of being a parent to someone
Case 1: Joyce(the mother) is living with her husband whom they have kids together and this man is a healer (inyanga). Joyce told us that she, the husband and their baby girl were sleeping together in the same bed since the baby was born and the baby is very fond of his daddy, The daddy treated their child in the best way that it also caught neighbors and they would pour comments like “you are so lucky Joyce to have a man who loves his child like this”. It happen that in 2007 when the baby was 3 yrs old, Joyce had TB and was hospitalized for 4 months … when she was admitted she asked her cousin/sister to go look after the child, and their brother/uncle also happened to be there (im not sure if they said as ithwasa or it was just a visit also for him). Apparently the child continued to sleep with daddy, she wanted that and she was used to that, So one day when this cousin/sister was changing the girl’s nappy, the girl(3years old) said told this cousin/sister that her daddy put in his penis here(pointing to her private part) … They were shocked but the thought maybe the child is lying, so they let that slip but this cousin told this uncle to leave that house because maybe one the this child will say he did the same to her. And they never told the mother even when she was out of hospital.
Joyce came back and years passed by then this year… Joyce and her husband had a fight this early this year which led them to sleep separately, Joyce slept at the dinning/sitting room and the father in the bedroom with their girl child who is now 6 yrs old … then in April Joyce noticed the discharge in a girls panty and was surprised that the girl at her age has the discharge, well it happened again the second time and now she also noticed that the discharge was dirty and she got worried. She then went to visit her parents home around may and she then told her mother about the discharge thing in her daughter’s underwear, it was the that the cousin/sister told her about what the child said 3 years ago. She then called her daughter and set down with her and ask her if is there anything that daddy has been doing to her, the child(after some persuasion and the assurance from the mother) told the mother that every time when they go to sleep, daddy took out his and her underwear and put in his penis in her private part. That was a shock to the mother. So the mother then went to see the social workers, the girls was then interviewed and she kept saying the same thing which real makes the allegations true. They then arranged counseling for both the mother and the child. Joyce said, after she find out, she never said or asked her husband about that but she went back to stay with the husband and that child (im not sure what was the sleeping arrangement at this time, they didn’t say a thing about it) .. they continued with the counseling and Joyce reported the case to the police and the husband was arrested last month but he is now out on bail. The sad thing is Joyce still need maintenance from this husband but because of the charged and bail what what, the husband is not allowed to come any where near Joyce, so when Joyce asked him for children’s food he sent them 5 kg meal- meal pack and braai pack, that was it..
Case two … There is also a 17year old mental disturbed girl who has been sexual abused by her brother in such that she thought that’s what was supposed to happen …it happen until someone called the police and Ms Pule (Police) took on that case it it wont her the best police for whatever month ..
There were also some things that were said about community policing forum but I was already angry to hear them what were they on about
So ya, this world is real sick and it is sad, did you watch Motswako and what is your take on that?
