Itu Bokaba speaks up

Former Rhythm City actress Itumeleng Bokaba shared a video where she addressed the rape case she opened. Despite Nota denying the case numerous times, she remains firm that the alleged crime did happen.

"I'm coming to terms with the fact that not everybody has to like me. I wouldn't have opened a criminal case if something criminal didn't happen.

"If they don't prosecute, don't assume there was a lie; sometimes it's because there's not enough evidence. I'm going to tell my story from beginning to end, but I cannot predict what the outcome will be. All I know is that I'm not telling a lie.

"I'll continue being the goofy self that I've been. You tried to take that away from me. You tried to make me afraid; it's not gonna happen. I'm gonna continue living my life; you won't stop me."
