Couldn’t bear to watch Cheryl Zondi’s cross-examination by Omatoso’s defense counsel. I switched off, but not before I noticed how brilliant & brave she was. Despite being re-raped by the justice she was resolute & defiant, all traits of a woman who will get somewhere in life

My heart goes out to Cheryl Zondi. Church can be one of the hardest of places to expose wrongdoing. May she continue having the courage to speak out against her abusers. May justice be served. #OmotosoTrial
