Singer and radio host Unathi Nkayi has chronicled a recent experience with a male friend that she says was “rapey”.

Unathi took to Instagram to share the recent experience in which she says she was violated and left traumatised.

This comes after a nationwide outcry over the recent brutal deaths of South African women.

“Yesterday I was violated during my house by a man who has asked me out and I have told him that I don’t want to go out with him. A man who I’ve told that I don’t like video calls from men if I’m not dating them but insists on doing it anyway”, she said.

The “Idols SA” judge said that the incident happened after she got a new phone. “I have not synchronized my contacts yet so yesterday I got a video call and I panicked because I did not know what the number was, it could have been a family member so I answered it”.

Unathi said it was the man who has been asking her out and that he was video calling her while he was naked in the bathtub. While she asked him why he was calling her, he showed her his private part.

“I dropped the phone and my colleague asked me what was going on. The man then asked me why I dropped the phone and I tried to downplay it and while my colleague was trying to console me I laughed it off. But it affected me the entire day”, she said.

The “Halo Sana” hitmaker said that a conversation should be had about men that do things that are “rapey”.

A man overcome by grief following the death of his wife in a car accident killed himself by intentionally running into the flames of a burning fuel tanker.
He had been assisted by passing cyclists, but would not accept any help, instead clinging to his dead wife inside the wreck of their car.
The man then ran off and lay himself down in the flames, ending his own life.These were the last words 61-year-old Ben Wiid spoke as he held on to his wife of 35 years, Riana, 58, his face pressed against hers in the wreck of their car in which she had died moments before.

Then, in a state of shock, the inconsolable Wiid rushed up a slope down which their car had rolled following a collision with a fuel tanker on the N2 close to Grabouw on Saturday. In full view of the burning tanker’s driver and other bystanders, Wiid lay down in the flames and burnt to death.Kleinmond resident Ralf Zipfel on Tuesday related his last moments with Wiid, and how he had been completely unaware of what would happen next.

Zipfel and a group of others were cycling when they heard the impact of the collision. Zipfel saw the Wiids’ vehicle burst through a barrier along the road and down a slope, where it came to a stop in some bushes. He promptly ran over to assist.

“I was with him. He wouldn’t get out of the car. He kept telling us to leave him alone,” said Zipfel.’Leave me alone!’

Wiid was embracing his wife. “My wife is dead. Please leave me alone. Just leave me! Can’t you see? Just leave me!”

These were Wiid’s last words as he clung to his wife’s corpse.

“He held his face to hers. She looked very peaceful. I kept thinking, what should I do, what should I do?” Zipfel recounted.

He warned Wiid that the tanker could explode at any moment, but he would not leave his wife’s side. He said he could hear blasts coming from the tanker, such as the tyres bursting from the heat.Emergency services had been summoned and Zipfel thought there wasn’t much more that he could do, so he walked away from the vehicle. At that point, Wiid ran up the slope and did the unthinkable. In full view of everyone on the scene, as well as a woman filming the burning tanker, he ran into the flames and lay himself down.

‘Jirre, what is the man doing?’

“Oh, jirre, what is the man doing?” the horrified truck driver can be heard exclaiming in the video.

Zipfel says he wanted to approach the bystanders to tell them what he had experienced, since some of them had opined that Wiid’s actions were “selfish”.

A friend of the Wiids, who asked not to be named, on Tuesday told Netwerk24 that the couple had celebrated their 35th anniversary in March.

The friend said that she and Wiid had attended the same school and that he and Riana were extremely close. She added:She said the video taken at the scene was not a full reflection of what had happened. The shock Wiid experienced upon realising that his wife had died is not visible in the video.

“The true life drama didn’t take place in the flames. It happened inside that wreck.

“On Facebook, there are horrible people insinuating that the collision was intentional. That isn’t true. Ben simply lost his concentration in the moments before the accident. The truck driver tried to swerve to avoid the collision, while Ben swerved in the opposite direction. That is why the truck collided with the side where Riana was sitting,” the friend said.

True soul mates

The couple used to do everything together, she said. He was a retired pharmacist who had previously worked at Dis-Chem in Somerset West, and Riana was a teacher. They frequently transported their grandchildren and a baby seat was still seen attached inside their car at the scene of the accident.

According to the friend, the couple was on their way to Kleinmond from their home in Strand to collect a set of keys when the accident happened.

EFF leader Julius Malema says the easing of lockdown restrictions is a clear indication that President Cyril Ramaphosa is chasing profits.
Ramaphosa says all decisions around the lockdown are backed by science.
The president says the lockdown was meant to slow the rate of infection and community transmission.EFF leader Julius Malema has accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of putting profits before lives by easing Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
Ramaphosa gave oral replies to questions in a virtual sitting of the National Assembly on Thursday afternoon.

Malema asked Ramaphosa whether his decision to ease the lockdown, from alert Level 5 to 4 and then 3, within a short space of time, was informed by scientific evidence.

Ramaphosa responded: “Our response to the coronavirus pandemic has been informed by the advice of our scientists, made up of members of the advisory committee. There are 51 scientists of various diverse disciplines.”It has also been underpinned by experiences of other countries and the guidance we have received from bodies like the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Africa Centre for Diseases Control and Prevention.

“Through the course of the pandemic, the committee assisted us. Government was guided by the views of scientists. It also considered the economic and social disruption that have been caused by the lockdown.”

Ramaphosa announced on Wednesday night that, under advanced Level 3, restrictions will be eased further, with cinemas, hairdressers, casinos and restaurants allowed to operate again.

In his question, Malema said the scientific-based recommendation by the WHO advised that the number of infections must be visibly declining before lockdowns should be eased.”We did this knowing that we will not be able to bring transmissions under control by the time we had to, to ease the lockdown. It would give us the time that we needed to strengthen our health system.”

But Malema did not accept Ramaphosa’s answers.

Malema said: “We are more than convinced that we are not following any scientific advice. You are following business to maximise profits all the time. You are sitting comfortably in your home and you tell children to go to school. Do you have any advice how many people are going to die of this pandemic?

“Or are we just going about as usual with no anticipating of what are the expected infections and deaths within a particular time. You are chasing only profits.”

The South African government also sent a message to wish him.

In a statement‚ the Congress of the People (COPE) said South Africans were enormously beholden to the huge role this State man‚ Thabo Mbeki‚ has played in the liberation of our country”

“All of us in South Africa are enormously beholden to the huge role this State man‚ Thabo Mbeki‚ has played in the liberation of our country. “On behalf of Congress of the People (COPE)‚ we wish our beloved President Mbeki good health and a very blessed future.

“Happy birthday to you and so say all of us!” said Cope spokesman Dennis Bloem.

“Happy 75th birthday Thabo Mbeki. When you were president‚ the economy grew on average 4.5%. Now we only dream of those days‚” Khaya Dlanga (@Khayadlanga) said in a tweet which seemed to echo what many of those taking to Twitter felt about the former president.

Another tweet‚ from Ipaleng @ipaleng‚ read: “#ThaboMbeki. Happy bday one of the cluefull intellectual leader of our times. We pray to God to reproduce your kind in every sphere of govnmnt.”
