By Nyasha Sengayi|Foruswomenofcourage ( came back on FB to look into the Magaya issue to see what I can do to help. I’ll be leaving today. )

Most of my career I’ve worked with rape victims. A lot of them withdraw cases. After watching the short clip on her denying she got raped ,my conclusion is Magaya did it.

Hapana mubereki anonyadzisa mukwasha akauya akabvisa Mari agochata nemwana wavo using a rape claim. And she did not deny sleeping with him neither did she explain the nature of her relationship with Magaya or her family’s.

Having said this, my post is a response to people accusing feminists for not doing anything about the issue . I assume they were looking for action on social media.

Please note the work which women’s rights organisations do is such difficult work. Particularly in circumstances where grown up men call us out for not doing our work yet they don’t want to confront their male counterparts doing the raping.

Tokugonai here chibharo chaicho chiri kuitwa nevamwe venyu? Why are you calling on women to fix an issue which has been caused by a man – Magaya?. Why should we push and do the processes of fixing problems which men cause all the time?

As women working with rape victims wecarey the trauma of rapes that have been caused by other people. We are burdened because men are raping women .. I’m shocked because it appears this problem is caused by us not appearing on social media castigating the rapist ??? you are missing the bigger picture here.

That the contribution of men in speaking out against rape is next to zero in this country. You are blaming feminists because we are appear as a soft target. How about you deal with a problem which is caused by the fact that men in this country don’t know what rape is? ..

They coerce people’s daughters to have sex with them taking advantage of power imbalance( economic, political , social standings,ageism etc), muchinyepera vana vevanhu kuti ndoisa musoro chete then you go all the way forcefully. This happens on a daily basis.

Kunyepera kuita Tsitsi kubatsira munhu then you make them prey. Kufunga kuti ukatengera munhu chicken Inn unogona kumubvisisa bhurugwa nekuti adya mari yako. The problem is with men kunyepera kuzungaira muchibata vana vevanhu chibharo in ways you have normalised which are abnormal.. you have to fix yourselves and each other.

We have male sex predators in this country who have mastered the art of sexually abusing women whilst quoting verses and building churches. This the debate should not be on whether it happened or not.

It is Men leading all these mega churches where women are being abused and extorting money from the vulnerable. The church has derailed our milestones( the laws, institutions we built, the work we did on awareness raising etc) which we worked on as a movement trying to end sexual violence.

Now when men of God rape the law is not given a chance.Then they say touch not the annointed one. Are people anointed to rape?.

I don’t think a person with anointing of God in its fullness will rape anyone or kusvererera zamu reasina kukupa mvumo rekuti uribate chaiko..

With this I return to my hole.
