Young women, some as young as 13-years-old, have told the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities (CRL Rights Commission) meeting how they were manipulated and allegedly raped by a prominent pastor.
They shared details of how they were groomed by other women in the pastor’s house to satisfy his sexual urges.

The CRL Rights Commission held a dialogue in Johannesburg for young people who’d been sexually abused by religious and traditional leaders.
They lived in a mansion with numerous other young women in skimpy clothes in an upmarket surburb in KwaZulu-Natal.
One of the three rape survivors relived her first rape incident at the age of just 14.
