I applaud her for her wittyness, the lawyer is not achieving his point and trying very hard, it must be the millions he got from the rapist, this trial is very complex
This young lady did really well during cross examination. Yes she broke down in tears quite a few times which is understandable because it is not easy having to relive a traumatic experience. But what I loved about her is that she stuck to her story. No matter how hard this laywer tried to confuse her by asking the same question so many times , she stuck to her story. When she was asked a question, she answered the question exactly. If she didn't remember something, she was not too scared to admit that she does not remember. I also loved that she did not get wound up and angry and lose it. She stayed calm. I admire her courage so much. This can't have been easy for her. She's been through hell and now she has to relive it. She is our voice for all women out there. Hopefull this will give other young women courage speak up against sexual assault
It's hurts when seeing this.... It's as if that this girl uzicelele for this man to rape her... The way bamu cross question ngakhona. Izobacacela nini abantu abangotata base mzantsi futhi naphina that rape is rape.... Mayinga sugar quote

I agree dudu,people need to stop jumping on the gravey train of being taken by the new storm churches, all humans are mann of God not these misguided nonsense of 1 individual being Man of God please bantu
The problem is that God uses man to operate in this earth. So you can have a man of God just that don't come to close as a woman because this are people so when a lady sleeps with a man and a time comes when a man repents this lady starts claiming rape and there are waiting for year to tell. So this are lies
She is not very smart its the lawyer that very weak her evidence is not holding, a reasonable person doesn't do that; Tim will only be charged because she was under aged at the time.
she fell for it. The lawyer is trying to get to the to say it was consensual action and not rape and she fell for it in her statement but I can understand her. As she said, he had a hold on her. I pray justice prevails.

Nobubelo Ndlovu there is a law to be followed.thats why only people who studied law can convict.thats y they wouldnot come to you for judgement...judging or law is foreign to you until u study law
I'm not being xenophobic or something. But not even one Nigerian is against this pastor! Say a South african comes to Nigeria and opens up a church( I doubt that would be allowed) and does the same thing, would they support him? Obviously no, they'd want justice to be served. Which pastor stays with minors in his house? Is it normal? Considering he has a wife and children. There are pictures proving it. This case doesn't need to be prolonged, this man deserves to be behind bars. Cherly is not the only victim. No one in their right mind would make such accusations. In Durban you find 10 Nigerian churches in one street, really? 2am in the morning you hear noises. If he wins this case the South African justice would have let us down.
If they were decent people they would stand up and speak against this.They can't protect a paedophile just because he is one of their own.Last time in London those two Nigerian boys tried to behead a British soldier Lee Rigby as people watched in shock.The families stood up and got other Nigerians to stand with them and say that they were not in support of that.They can't all agree with this behavior if they want to live in other people's countries cos no one would do this in their own country.
My dear, please hear me, there are so many of us who are disheartened by this as nigerians, the thing about nigerians is that we say something is good or bad not based on the nationality of the person involved. I see her as a daughter, hence, the pain is real and it would be the same if the pastor was a south African or an American.
@@chiomajonathan2590 u have the privilege to not specify nationality cos no one is going to your country to commit crimes there.Its within reason to be shocked at the fact that someone can be brazen enough to go to a foreign country and commit such atrocities, lets not forget how Nigerians came to name a bag "Ghana must go".There are Nigerians in that court gesturing and mumbling to a point where a court official brings it to the court's attention. That's why we are gutted that they are defending this behavior and they are online saying all sorts of things to defend this man.
@@naletsanaele my dear incidents like this is very common in nigeria aswell, but I understand your frustration that it almost feels like nigerians are taking advantage of your system which many consider weak, but I can assure you that that is not the case with many other nigerians, who in fact appreciate south africa for the opportunity it presents to south Africans and non south Africans alike. The fight in this world is against good and evil and not one nation against the other. Let me also apologise on behalf of all well meaning nigerians to this beautiful young lady and south Africans at large.
People actually dnt understand how trauma can do to a person expecially after being raped. That apology from a rapist can give you closer. As a man, they Don't understand how important an apology is
@real gee let me just say only people who have been in this situation will understand me better. If they had done this to ur sister you would be saying that. Nd not only Nigeria are the ones raping in this country. Kids are been raped by their family members. Some one so close.... People like you actually make me understand why girls don't report rape.
I keep trying to understand this thing she calls closure from her context, why would she travel all the to the same monster who so wronged her for closure? Why could she not get closure on the phone or in a letter? Am really battling to understand her? My sister trauma is trauma be it hijacking or bulgarly trauma shakes the mind n body alike. I would not return to my hijacking spot to seek closure again never. Something is bound to crack we seeing the tip of an ice burg here. Her pre trial preps n rehearsals were good hence her ability to respond in such fashion too.
@@mdnnxi5232 Your examples of trauma are too simplistic to be compared to years of sexual abuse. Research the Stockholm Syndrome to get a better understanding of some of the dynamics at play in this slave house he had with these young girls. This man shaped their view of the world during their most crucial years. The depth of their trauma is not even being touched on here.
Close all the foreign nationals Pastor led charismatic churches we cant live it to chance the future of our bantu black queens up 4 grabs to wolves in sheep clothing period!!!!!!
Rape happens in homes, schools, hospitals and there are predators in traditional churches too. i was in a traditional church where the worship leader was harassing the young women in the church. When a complaint was laid it was dismissed because the pastor was also messing with young girls. They are both still pastors
Ow my word this girl, I wish all rape victims had her strength and courage, it's not easy yes I get that but this is the way forward... Ms Zondi I'm behind you, innocent until proven guilty mayonya
The lawyer is doing what lawyers do, but as for this young lady, I salute her courage. I hope she's doing law related subjects so that she could one day become a lawyer. She belongs in court. She owns the place.
Brave gal and credible witness. Lawyer mmmh don't know what to say, why keep on asking same questions over and over. In a case like this I agree with Rwandan President. Degree in Theology for someone to start a church. Fancy Mr lawyer saying going round in circles, it's you who is asking the questions in circles. All the best Zondi
stop going to these so called 'man of God'' and pouring money in their pockets. use logic fellow South Africans. why they come here and claim to be pastors in the first place.
1 Corinthians 6:16 New International Version (NIV) 16 ..., “The two will become one flesh.” It goes both ways, it wouldn't be easy for her to separate herself from this guy unless if she were to be prayed for and taken through proper counselling. He's a Pastor, he was probably giving her an impression that she's serving God by doing that. There's only one person who should shoulder all the blames in this case, US, South African men. You can see the family had no order, no father to pray and protect the family. Let's have a hard look at ourselves and resolve to correct this mess.
A very brave you lady. It's time women break the silence of pain and abuse. God is not mocked. Surely the Sins of these Pastors will find them out. They will reap what they sow. God
WHEN A PERSON HAS WRONGED YOU AND THEY REALIZE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AND COME TO YOU WITH AN APOLOGY ASKING YOU TO FORGIVE THEM IT MEANS A LOT. I FEEL WHERE SHE IS COMING FROM AS FAR AS THE APOLOGY. IT WOULDVE HELPED WITH HER HEALING. I HOPE THEY BURY HIM UNDER THE PRISON.
How do you live in the same house with your child and have this happen under your nose? How do you allow a 14 year old to go away to “crusades” consistently for days at a time? In my view this is also a challenge.
@@melaningwenya2343 am battling to understand that too, 14yr olds she b in school not some nonsense of crusaders, there is something no jellying jellyfish in this whole story. Is this a matter of a deal gone wrong? Needless to say sleeping with minors in a no no no but the she returned to the same monster, eish it's not jellying at all
This advocate, put work aside but he does not understand how these people calling themselves men of God behave to make one dead to reality, killing our consciences and making us do things that we would never ever do if we were not under their spell. Even those who are supporting Omotoso, it is only God that will rescue you from that cult. Well done Cheryl , strength and courage to you.
A rapist doesn’t have to be a stranger to be legitimate; someone you never saw But if you’ve been in public with him; danced one dance Kissed him goodbye lightly with a closed mouth Pressing charges will be as hard as keeping your legs closed with five fools trying to run a train on you. These men friends of ours who smile nice and stay employed and take us out to dinner Lock the door behind you and we are left with the scars Being betrayed by men who know us and expect, like the stranger we always thought was coming, that we will submit. We must have known. Women relinquish all personal rights in the prescence of a man who could apparently be considered a rapist Especially if he has been considered a friend And is no less worthy of being beat within an inch of his life, of being publicly ridiculed and having two fists shoved up his ass than the stranger we always thought it would be Who never showed up Because it turns out the nature of rape has changed We can now meet them in circles we frequent for companionship See them at the coffee house with someone else we know We can even have them over for dinner and get raped in our own houses by invitation. 😭😭 this poem from the movie For colored girls is so relevant to this case. MaZondi qina ntombazane uzophumelela, inja leyo yomfundisi nezimpelesi zakhe bazowuthola umvuzo wabo.
So intimidating questions. The young lady has been traumatised for years. Lord have mercy. She just wanted an apology to ease the pain she's been holding, like when the Great late Mandela wanted an apology from the Apathied regime after being innocently prisoned for 25 years.
Clearly that lawyer has never been a victim of something so cruel. Because I have, and you really DO need to hear an apology. You need to know that they realize they did wrong. It’s just the way it is.
No she is not its the lawyer thats weak that makes her appear to be brave, her narrative is not holding they will charge Tim Omotoso only on statutory rape.
Thank you Cheryl for your courage and will power. You went back to that church because you sought refuge in Jesus, unfortunately someone used the Lord's name inappropriately but what I want to say to you is that Jesus loves you. He will heal you and be your strength during this trial and after. Having been abused at so tender an age you probably found being away from church even more difficult as you would compare yourself to other kids, so that's why you went back to the same place of abuse to seek acceptance. Being without a dad you thought you had a father figure in this monster. Heal my sister and remain strong.

That killed me also. "I am sorry but I am not frustrated "
Woman sooo strong!!! 100% behind you my sister..
im only 5 minutes in, the pressure that the man is giving her... but im really humbled about how trsong this lady is
She's not being intimidated at all.
This lawyer is being obtuse. Of course someone who wronged you at least ACKNOWLEDGING what they did was wrong would give one some closure.
Exactly !!
Exactly
How do you explain closure maar
@@letstalkmusicsa6571 this is a good question, and I mean, the defense is just doing his job. Court proceedings just annoy me haha.
No she wanted a point
SHE IS EPIC THIS GIRL IS! YIKES...Strength looks like this and it is Beautiful :)
Why. Is there even a trial. Just sentence the bastard already do they have an idea Wht rape does to a person
Nobubelo Ndlovu
there is a law to be followed.thats why only people who studied law can convict.thats y they wouldnot come to you for judgement...judging or law is foreign to you until u study law
Is this truly a lawyer?? He sounds like a child fighting over candy...
Lol.he he must have studied forever to get he's degree. Currently it's incomplete as you can see with the repetition. That's all he learnt at school
precious mnguni LOL. His voice is annoying 😂😂
Lol now that's funny😂😂 I also see him the same way
lol Raphael Eze, there's nothing he can say, this case is straight forward. The man deserves to be locked up, that's hard to defend😂
SO ANNOYING
This Omotoso guy needs to be arrested finish and clar!!!
she stands for khwezi too
Theodora Phiri oh yes 🙏🏾
I'm not being xenophobic or something. But not even one Nigerian is against this pastor! Say a South african comes to Nigeria and opens up a church( I doubt that would be allowed) and does the same thing, would they support him? Obviously no, they'd want justice to be served. Which pastor stays with minors in his house? Is it normal? Considering he has a wife and children. There are pictures proving it. This case doesn't need to be prolonged, this man deserves to be behind bars. Cherly is not the only victim. No one in their right mind would make such accusations. In Durban you find 10 Nigerian churches in one street, really? 2am in the morning you hear noises. If he wins this case the South African justice would have let us down.
If they were decent people they would stand up and speak against this.They can't protect a paedophile just because he is one of their own.Last time in London those two Nigerian boys tried to behead a British soldier Lee Rigby as people watched in shock.The families stood up and got other Nigerians to stand with them and say that they were not in support of that.They can't all agree with this behavior if they want to live in other people's countries cos no one would do this in their own country.
My dear, please hear me, there are so many of us who are disheartened by this as nigerians, the thing about nigerians is that we say something is good or bad not based on the nationality of the person involved. I see her as a daughter, hence, the pain is real and it would be the same if the pastor was a south African or an American.
@@chiomajonathan2590 u have the privilege to not specify nationality cos no one is going to your country to commit crimes there.Its within reason to be shocked at the fact that someone can be brazen enough to go to a foreign country and commit such atrocities, lets not forget how Nigerians came to name a bag "Ghana must go".There are Nigerians in that court gesturing and mumbling to a point where a court official brings it to the court's attention. That's why we are gutted that they are defending this behavior and they are online saying all sorts of things to defend this man.
@@naletsanaele my dear incidents like this is very common in nigeria aswell, but I understand your frustration that it almost feels like nigerians are taking advantage of your system which many consider weak, but I can assure you that that is not the case with many other nigerians, who in fact appreciate south africa for the opportunity it presents to south Africans and non south Africans alike. The fight in this world is against good and evil and not one nation against the other. Let me also apologise on behalf of all well meaning nigerians to this beautiful young lady and south Africans at large.
Am Nigerian or sorry Biafran, the lawyer is trying to make this look like what happens in Nigeria. This case should be an international case.
I like the way she handles the lawyer's questions. the girl is tough. i admire her courage
People actually dnt understand how trauma can do to a person expecially after being raped. That apology from a rapist can give you closer. As a man, they Don't understand how important an apology is
How about we start with you ladies to stop messing with these Nigerians.
@@kingpin3782 ohhh really. Do u think people just volunteer to get raped
@real gee let me just say only people who have been in this situation will understand me better. If they had done this to ur sister you would be saying that.
Nd not only Nigeria are the ones raping in this country. Kids are been raped by their family members. Some one so close.... People like you actually make me understand why girls don't report rape.
I keep trying to understand this thing she calls closure from her context, why would she travel all the to the same monster who so wronged her for closure? Why could she not get closure on the phone or in a letter? Am really battling to understand her? My sister trauma is trauma be it hijacking or bulgarly trauma shakes the mind n body alike. I would not return to my hijacking spot to seek closure again never. Something is bound to crack we seeing the tip of an ice burg here. Her pre trial preps n rehearsals were good hence her ability to respond in such fashion too.
@@mdnnxi5232 Your examples of trauma are too simplistic to be compared to years of sexual abuse. Research the Stockholm Syndrome to get a better understanding of some of the dynamics at play in this slave house he had with these young girls. This man shaped their view of the world during their most crucial years. The depth of their trauma is not even being touched on here.
Close all the foreign nationals Pastor

I agree
@@sandyn4075 you sound like a Nigerian apologist.
@@sandyn4075 To try to make this a "man" issue is ridiculous. The pimps in S.A. are the Nigerians.
@@sandyn4075 And what is your view that you are so firm and unshaken about Sandile?
Rape happens in homes, schools, hospitals and there are predators in traditional churches too. i was in a traditional church where the worship leader was harassing the young women in the church. When a complaint was laid it was dismissed because the pastor was also messing with young girls. They are both still pastors
God is speaking through this young lady... She's so brave
Definitely. She's speaking for all of us. I will be praying for her, and for all these 'prophets' and 'pastors' to be exposed
No he’s not she’s a liar yerrrrr🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Other witnesses might not want to come forward after seeing this
doreen mojela very true. It's even pissing me off
May God intervene in this matter.
Ottilie Amutenya I just hate this nonsense it’s obvious the lawyer is an idiot but why is the judge allowing him so much repetition
We need women like HER in our society. Damn this woman is brave,😍✊
Ow my word this girl, I wish all rape victims had her strength and courage, it's not easy yes I get that but this is the way forward... Ms Zondi I'm behind you, innocent until proven guilty mayonya
Sibbzy mnyandanator ..
Sibbzy mnyandanator she's so strong
Like pastor like defense lawyer........😢
Sanele B. Gumede
Loool
The lawyer is doing what lawyers do, but as for this young lady, I salute her courage. I hope she's doing law related subjects so that she could one day become a lawyer. She belongs in court. She owns the place.
Lord give me the same courage and strength you have given this beautiful and STRONG LADY. I STAND WITH YOU.
This lawyer is annoying me n the judge oviasly
He is doing his job.
Karabo stop defending him
You are pissing me off now nxxx
karabo mothupi stop defending nonsense.Hes wasting our time that guy
Lol
Brave gal and credible witness. Lawyer mmmh don't know what to say, why keep on asking same questions over and over. In a case like this I agree with Rwandan President. Degree in Theology for someone to start a church. Fancy Mr lawyer saying going round in circles, it's you who is asking the questions in circles. All the best Zondi
Clara Ndlovu ✊
stop going to these so called 'man of God'' and pouring money in their pockets. use logic fellow South Africans. why they come here and claim to be pastors in the first place.
they are only here for our money and we are giving it to them it's a pity we a nation of fools
Even this "Africann churches "we are not safe
Big up gal.
1 Corinthians 6:16 New International Version (NIV)
16 ..., “The two will become one flesh.” It goes both ways, it wouldn't be easy for her to separate herself from this guy unless if she were to be prayed for and taken through proper counselling. He's a Pastor, he was probably giving her an impression that she's serving God by doing that. There's only one person who should shoulder all the blames in this case, US, South African men. You can see the family had no order, no father to pray and protect the family. Let's have a hard look at ourselves and resolve to correct this mess.
When the gps isnt working and makes you drive around in circles
True 😂😂
Samke Nqoko 😂😂😂 you hit the nail on the head
Facts
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I need to give her a hug struuuuuu
She is really strong and stable, she is sure of her statement, these pastors sould repent and stop destroying people using the Bible
A very brave you lady. It's time women break the silence of pain and abuse. God is not mocked. Surely the Sins of these Pastors will find them out. They will reap what they sow. God
she’s so beautiful and i just wanted to hug her when she started crying
The strength in her! 😢🔥🔥🔥🔥....he messed with the wrong one coz im sure she wasn't the only one, gal we behind you
bro you literally made her repeat everything at least 4 times
She is so strong!
She's brave
indeed she is
WHEN A PERSON HAS WRONGED YOU AND THEY REALIZE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AND COME TO YOU WITH AN APOLOGY ASKING YOU TO FORGIVE THEM IT MEANS A LOT. I FEEL WHERE SHE IS COMING FROM AS FAR AS THE APOLOGY. IT WOULDVE HELPED WITH HER HEALING. I HOPE THEY BURY HIM UNDER THE PRISON.
Is she studying low haa! shes very brave and strong
She's doing management marketing at UJ.. She's so smart

How do you live in the same house with your child and have this happen under your nose? How do you allow a 14 year old to go away to “crusades” consistently for days at a time? In my view this is also a challenge.
The parents are to blame here how do you let your 14 year old girl go on a crusade with a foreign pastor?
@@melaningwenya2343 am battling to understand that too, 14yr olds she b in school not some nonsense of crusaders, there is something no jellying jellyfish in this whole story. Is this a matter of a deal gone wrong? Needless to say sleeping with minors in a no no no but the she returned to the same monster, eish it's not jellying at all
Yes girl✊✊✊✊thank you ✊✊✊ur strength n brevity waitsi keng girl thank u and may God bless u
Thank God for the strength that she has. I am behind you.
I like the part where she says to the lawyer this is a complex case I understand your frustration 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
she is sooo brave ... the voice of all the women
She is Brave
😭😭💔This is painful.
a female against males. we support this women.
What utter rubbish .
such a brave young lady ...im impressed
This advocate, put work aside but he does not understand how these people calling themselves men of God behave to make one dead to reality, killing our consciences and making us do things that we would never ever do if we were not under their spell. Even those who are supporting Omotoso, it is only God that will rescue you from that cult. Well done Cheryl , strength and courage to you.
A rapist doesn’t have to be a stranger to be legitimate; someone you never saw
But if you’ve been in public with him; danced one dance
Kissed him goodbye lightly with a closed mouth
Pressing charges will be as hard as keeping your legs closed with five fools trying to run a train on you.
These men friends of ours who smile nice and stay employed and take us out to dinner
Lock the door behind you and we are left with the scars
Being betrayed by men who know us and expect, like the stranger we always thought was coming, that we will submit.
We must have known.
Women relinquish all personal rights in the prescence of a man who could apparently be considered a rapist
Especially if he has been considered a friend
And is no less worthy of being beat within an inch of his life, of being publicly ridiculed and having two fists shoved up his ass than the stranger we always thought it would be
Who never showed up
Because it turns out the nature of rape has changed
We can now meet them in circles we frequent for companionship
See them at the coffee house with someone else we know
We can even have them over for dinner and get raped in our own houses by invitation.
😭😭 this poem from the movie For colored girls is so relevant to this case. MaZondi qina ntombazane uzophumelela, inja leyo yomfundisi nezimpelesi zakhe bazowuthola umvuzo wabo.
She is so smart and articulates herself well, and very calm despite the harsh interrogation.
God heal her and he with her.
Viva strong black women viva
Masixole Ndala viiiiiva
Poor cross examination by the defence!!!!...what, explain,why
"This case is frustrating,I understand your frustrations",Zondi said. I thought I am de only one who sees dat Advocate Peter had frustrations
So intimidating questions. The young lady has been traumatised for years. Lord have mercy. She just wanted an apology to ease the pain she's been holding, like when the Great late Mandela wanted an apology from the Apathied regime after being innocently prisoned for 25 years.
Yoh I just pray bangamloyi lo girl Nigeria is dangerous with witchcraft... #imbokodo_love_your_power ❤️
Clearly that lawyer has never been a victim of something so cruel. Because I have, and you really DO need to hear an apology. You need to know that they realize they did wrong. It’s just the way it is.
She is so brave and strong. In her voice you can hear what she went through, by closure perhaps it would help her heal. We are behind you Cheryl.
The girl is very brave
Indeed.
No she is not its the lawyer thats weak that makes her appear to be brave, her narrative is not holding they will charge Tim Omotoso only on statutory rape.
Such a strong lady💕 this must be so difficult to her recalling this horrific events yet keeping her emotions together. Very proud of her
The lawyer/attorney/advocate whatever his tittle is looks like Alexos Mathon from Skeem saam
Lol true
Thank you Cheryl for your courage and will power. You went back to that church because you sought refuge in Jesus, unfortunately someone used the Lord's name inappropriately but what I want to say to you is that Jesus loves you. He will heal you and be your strength during this trial and after. Having been abused at so tender an age you probably found being away from church even more difficult as you would compare yourself to other kids, so that's why you went back to the same place of abuse to seek acceptance. Being without a dad you thought you had a father figure in this monster. Heal my sister and remain strong.
I salute this lady she's strong I was gonna break this lawyer is irritating
She's consistent, I see why other comments describe a strong, she is very!
i have out most respect for this young lady...big up's gal..
