I think what’s more heartbreaking abt this is looking at her tweets nd Twitter header showing it’s the end….if only the people around her knew what it meant #KhensaniMaseko when people tweet it’s not always about others…sometimes we ourselves are drowning #RIPKhensani ???

Under no circumstance is a guy entitled to a female’s body. “Under no circumstance” also involves a boyfriend or husband. #RIPKhensani

If a man is found guilty of raping a woman and the woman subsequently commits suicide – the man should be charged with murder. Enough is enough #RIPKhensani

Khensani Maseko took her own life yesterday because she was RAPED. An entire human being waking up and deciding that it’s her last day on earth because a man thought he had ownership to her womanhood. Men are fuckin disgusting maan ???

Khensani Maseko’s story embodies the pain of being a black South African woman on a daily basis. How do we live with ourselves as black men?
