Teen claims politician raped her - Crime & Courts | IOL News | IOL.co.za


LET PHIRI-ORGAN-BRAIN AND NOT PHIRI-ORGAN-PENIS BE THE ROLE MODEL FOR SOUTH AFRICA'S YOUTH, MR JACOB ZUMA SIR!




I am still struggling  to understand myself; with one of the conundrums being the inspirations I get.


One of such inspirations involved Maxwell Nemadzivhanani (a bright fellow who I had the opportunity to interview at a Dar es-Salaam hotel albeit between his Vaseline-self-smearing and his pistol-shifting).

I had had to approach an ordinarily-busy man (Nemadzivhanani) early in the morning or else he would be too gone for an interview.

Interestingly, this interview which I (under the name of ‘Mordecai King and Presenter of the Voice of the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania and its Military Wing The Azanian People’s Liberation Army-APLA’) put on-air turned out as about the best interview I had ever held with a politician.

My Broadcast-Journalist tutor Me Eda Sanga praised me for it; and a Colleague at the Tanzania School of Journalism (the late Iddi Rachid Mchatta) marked Nemadzivhanani as his most intelligent political interview ever listened too on radio.

My memory tells me Nemadzivhanani was correctly pointing out on the importance of charting a sensible constitution for the Republic of South Africa, rather than dwelling on party hegemony where the erstwhile ruling party (National Party) and the African National Congress-ANC were holding sway to the anguish of Nemadzivhanani’s PAC party.  It is also common cause that Nemadzivhanani later moved political house from the PAC to the ANC; and if Jacob Zuma is anybody to go by, the contact between a penis and a woman’s body is nothing to write home about (if the allegations against Nemadzivhanani are anything to go by).

Whether found guilty or not; I wish Nemadzivhanani well. He was one of my senior in the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania who helped me fathom the power of the human mind whether Venda (Nemadzivhanani’s ethnic group among other Africans), European, American or whatever other ‘race’ you choose if you want to think of humans as belonging to different races,.

It is these 1980s memories that haunt when I hear allegations of Nemadzivhanani’s rape accusations.

However,let us face some facts:

With South Africa being fairly or unfairly ranked among the world’s rape capitals, there are two rules any sober-minded person should hold in mind if resident in South Africa:

1.        Do not allow young girls next to where you live if you are male and are not related to them
2.       Understand that the vagina rules the world even though one cannot see it with his/her own eyes through the material world.  IN OTHER WORDS: RESPECT ALL WOMEN FROM AGE ZERO TO AGE 120 BECAUSE WOMEN  ARE GOD’S PLAN FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE MOST ADVANCEED SPECIES IN THE UNIVERSE: HOMO SAPIENS!

Johannesburg - An ANC member of the Limpopo legislature, Maxwell Nemadzivhanani, has been arrested and charged with rape after a teenage girl complained to the police.




He appeared in the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.



The 19-year-old alleged victim is from Malamulele, about 170km from Polokwane.


Police say she arrived in Polokwane to meet Nemadzivhanani, who had allegedly promised her a job.
“He met her in Polokwane on Sunday and he took her to the lodge, where the alleged rape took




place,” said Limpopo police spokesman Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi.
The Star understands that this happened at Zororo Lodge, outside Polokwane.
Mulaudzi said the teenager had opened the case and Nemadzivhanani was arrested at his home on









Monday.
In court on Wednesday, the former PAC secretary-general appeared apprehensive in the dock.
The State and his lawyer, Mashile Mokono, agreed that magistrate Janine Ungerer postpone the case to tomorrow for a formal bail application.







As he returned to the holding cells, Nemadzivhanani nodded to acknowledge the presence of Miriam Ramadwa and Patricia Mahlo, his fellow MPLs, in the court gallery.
Jan Tsiane, the ANC chief whip in the legislature, later said the party caucus had yet to discuss the matter.






He said the MPL remained innocent until proved otherwise, but emphasised that the party viewed the allegations in a serious light.




Nemadzivhanani is chairman of the legislature’s portfolio committee on public works.
He joined the ANC in 2004 after having served as the only MPL from the PAC.
He is the second prominent figure to be accused of rape at a lodge.




In 2010, Philip Mbofana, former head coach of Dynamos FC, was arrested after a woman accused him of raping her at the Golden Pillows Hotel in Polokwane.
The matter is still before court, said police spokeswoman Lieutenant-Colonel Ronel Otto.
Mokono said the State wanted to keep Nemadzivhanani in custody for the next seven days in order to profile him.
“I said I was ready to proceed with a bail application [Wednesday], but the State said it wanted to profile him,” said Mokono.
Profiling includes checking if the accused person has pending cases or previous convictions. The State also had to verify Nemadzivhanani’s personal details.
But Mokono said he had persuaded the State to arrange a formal bail application on Friday.
No ANC leader was present in court except the two MPLs.
Nemadzivhanani was formally charged but was not asked to plead.
