One minute Khanyiswa’s a smart, carefree, happy girl in a loving family; the next her body and her life is invaded by a sex predator. He’s in a powerful position, believes he’s untouchable. But Khanyiswa is brave and she gets good support. Read on to find out what it takes to bring the criminal to justice …

Special thanks:
To Aphiwe Hlehle Mpahleni (whom I befriended on Facebook), for being a free-flowing fountain of patience with her explanations, clarifications and suggestions on the correct use of isiXhosa terms and phrases used in this story. You are the epitome of a Queen – kind, generous, humble and gracious. Enkosi kakhulu, sihlobo sam.
