CherylZondi 'It was extremely difficult and antagonising the first time around and I anticipate that it will be worse the second time around.'

Zondi said when she decided to publicly come out about her sexual abuse, allegedly at the hands of self-proclaimed pastor Timothy Omotoso, she waived her right to remain anonymous. She admitted she underestimated the impact."It was obvious that South Africa has never seen a rape case unfolding in real time. I went to bed and next morning my name and pics all over social media, radio. I was traumatised, feeling like I was on trial.

Explaining the impact of the case in the high court in Port Elizabeth, she said she would probably have to testify from scratch - "As if I have not lost weight and sleep due to stress over this case. I had to rewrite exams because I could not concentrate, because of the stress I suffered due to this case."
