âZondo rape claims falseâ Sifiso Jimta
But a senior pastor came out with guns blazing to defend him.
Pastor Lydia Malete of Rivers of Living Waters Ministries rubbished allegations by her niece Bongi Mofokeng that Zondo had raped her. She said Mofokeng was making up stories.
Last month, Mofokeng told the commission that Zondo raped her at a hotel in the south of Joburg, and told her that she’d die if she told anyone about it.
She said she told a relative and shortly thereafter, her mother and sister died in an accident she was also involved in.
Malete told the commission that Mofokeng had told her the same story about being raped before she joined the church, but the accusation was made against a businessman she slept with to get her driving licence.
