Dear MyPE
There was a flurry of social media posts relating to all sorts of comments against my son, who is a minor.
As a parent and anti-GBV campaigner, I am on record for fighting Gender Based Violence in this country and we hope that the police will do a thorough investigation to get to the bottom of this in-order for justice to prevail. My family and I is not above the law and as such we will appreciate a swift investigation to get this matter to finalization.
I was informed that the case was registered with the South African Police Service in November 2019, that the matter is still under the investigation. My son appeared in court early this year. As such, the law must take its course as it should do like any other citizen of this country.
Until such time as the investigation have been concluded, the family will be making no further statements or responding to any enquiries from the media. I trust that you will respect this position.
My son’s lawyer Mr Frank Raymond has been appointed as the official spokesperson for the family.
Regards
Masizole Mnqasela
Khanyi Mnqasela – son of Masizole Mnqasela who is a South African politician, currently the 7th Speaker of the Western Cape Provincial Parliament, was accused of rape. It can be a cruel hard world when Twitter gets the bit between it’s teeth.
