Anele Mxakaza, a former Idols contestant, testified in the Eastern Cape High Court in Port Elizabeth on Thursday that she and her twin sister, Neliswa, were groomed to please rape-accused televangelist Timothy Omotoso.
Omotoso and his two co-accused, Lusanda Sulani and Zukiswa Sitho, are on trial on 97 charges, including rape, human trafficking and racketeering.
Mxakaza testified about the time she and her twin sister lived in the church s Mhlanga Rocks mission house in Durban.
Mxakaza said when they first auditioned to join Grace Galaxy, the Jesus Dominion International Church choir, they were told they were too young as they were only 17 at the time.
Mxakaza testified how they were allegedly groomed by Fezeka, Sindi and Sulani for Omotoso.
“They taught us how to behave and carry ourselves. The rules were to bath constantly, stay clean because we can’t greet the man of God without bathing. After church we needed to bath, we had to be always tidy, not allowed to have boyfriends, not allowed to go out without permission.”
She said they were told to appreciate, praise and complement Omotoso at all times.
Mxakaza said one day she was summoned to Omotoso’s room upstairs.
“I don’t remember who it was that told me to go and bath and go and massage Omotoso’s feet. When I arrived in the room, he told me to lock the door. And then he said I should take a towel and lay down on it.
