“We will keep reporting these cases until we are taken seriously and until there are real consequences for perpetrators of sexual harassment and sexual violence in our communities. It is unacceptable that women should feel unsafe in their places of work or in their own homes,” says Lorraine Moropa.
Since she broke her silence South African celebrities have been posting pictures (without caption) of Lithapo lead actor Mangaliso Ngema, leaving assumptions to their fans who assumed that he was the alleged sex predator allegedly referred to – below is the image that has been doing rounds on social media.
Lorraine Moropa says that she hopes to encourage other women in the industry to do the same – report sexual harassment.
“We cannot fix the system until we expose the people who are creating it as well as those who benefit from protecting it. I hope that my example will give other women the courage to come forward with their stories. We need our collective power to bring the perpetrators to justice,” says Lorraine Moropa.
