“I Was Also Raped By Brickz,” Ntsiki Mazwai
“I Was Also Raped By Brickz,” Ntsiki Mazwai. Poet Ntsiki Mazwai has just dropped a bombshell that she is a victim of rape. Not only that, she alleges that the person who raped her is Kwaito artist Bricks. Bricks is currently on trial for raping his niece.
Most of her followers commended her for breaking the silence, but others questioned her motive, asking her why is she only coming out now, Mazwai said society is the only reason women don’t report rape. Last year Ntsiki revealed on Twitter that she also had been a victim of sexual violence. She said she suffered this violence at the hands of an “industry guy”.

The responses here are why some women don't report rape. Then they get shamed for not reporting in the first place. Vicious cycle.
