Thirteen long years

I later realised that friendship to him meant getting sex from me. I was only 19. I knew nothing about sex then and I did not want to get involved in it. Yet I had agreed to the friendship. In 1988 he seriously demanded sex from me. He wanted it by force. He beat me hard to get his way. This bothered me.  I left him and went into hiding at my sister's place.

He followed me to my hiding place, harassed me and inflicted more pain. I reported him to the customary court where he was heavily caned.
