‘RAPIST MUST ROT IN JAIL’

KHUPHUKA – “He must rot in jail!” The mother of the three minor girls who were smuggled to South Africa by their stepfather said she had nothing but hate for the man who abused her and her children.

Makhosini Fakudze is the security guard who was handed two life sentences for the rape of his stepdaughter in Durban.  He abducted the three girls into the neighbouring country, where he repeatedly raped the eldest, a13-year-old, until she fell pregnant.

A visibly hurt *Nomsa revealed that she once caught Makhosini raping her daughter in their house.
Nomsa only heard of her former lover’s sentencing during an interview yesterday.

She said the police had told her that Makhosini was arrested for rape  and that her children were kept in a safe place.
She said she had nothing but hate for him and wished he should spend the rest of his life in jail.

Another revelation made by Nomsa was that none of the children belonged to Makhosini, and he took them from her without her consent. 
Narrating how their relationship began, Nomsa said when she first met Makhosini, she told him that she had children from a previous relationship but their father had died.
She said Makhosini promised to love and look after her and her children. 

She explained that, at first, Makhosini did as he had promised but suddenly changed and became abusive towards her.
She said he had also raped her before he started raping her daughter.

“He started showing signs of being abusive towards me in the middle of our relationship.
He then started acting that way towards my children.

“One night I caught him raping my firstborn and I reported him to the Malkerns police and after he heard that the police were looking for him, he ran away to South Africa,” she added
Nomsa described the life they were living as one that was difficult as she was struggling to make ends meet. She said Makhosini was in fact the one who moved into her house.

Nomsa said when she spoke to the police, the South African Social Welfare Department said she would have her children brought back to her, provided she had a stable home environment. She said that was why she had moved to Mahlangatja so she could build a home for her children and fetch them from South Africa.

The now married Nomsa expressed deep hurt towards Makhosini’s actions. She said even today, her heart was still broken because of what he did.
“I do not care what happens to him, whether he spends the rest of his life in jail or dies there, I do not care. My soul has not gotten any rest ever since he started abusing me and my children and took them from me,” she added.
Her neighbours shared that she (Nomsa) had not had any rest since her children left for South Africa, especially because she never agreed to it.  They said she would cry every day when she talked about how she missed them and wanted them back.

“I am doing everything I can to ensure that my children come back to me and away from harm,” she added.
