Jacob Zuma’s rape accuser has denied making a number of attempted rape claims when she returned to South Africa from exile.
Earlier on Thursday, the Johannesburg High Court heard that while she was a child three men had raped her, and one had attempted to rape her on separate occasions.
An ANC court punished two of the men by docking six month’s pay from their salaries for having sex with a child, not for rape.
While studying to be a priest in KwaZulu-Natal the 1990s, she fell pregnant. She and her mother concluded the college’s boarding master, whom she stayed with for a period, was responsible.
She told the court she did not know who impregnated her as she was suffering from ”attacks” that made her faint and that she was raped during one of these attacks.
The court also heard how a man had walked into her room naked and attempted to lift the blankets while she was attending a church conference. She said her pastor had walked in on them.
However, the pastor told the defence he found the woman and the man lying next to each other on a bed. She was wearing a Telkom T-shirt and a pair of panties.
The pastor also claimed she introduced the man to her mother the next day at the breakfast table. That evening the mother went to the pastor’s house with her daughter and accused the man of rape. The mother also gave the pastor a T-shirt with semen on it.
The woman told the court that if a meeting did occur between the pastor and her mother, she was not there as she could not remember it.
She testified that before she left the college, the pastor told her he needed a girlfriend as his wife had left to study teaching.
The woman, who regularly visited the pastor, conducted services and helped with the altar, said she did not visit the pastor after this as she felt uncomfortable.
When she left the college, the pastor sent a group of elders to establish what was wrong.
Zuma’s lawyer Kemp J Kemp said the elders told the priest the woman had had an abortion and had also accused him [the pastor] of raping her.
She denied making this accusation. She also denied accusing a Namibian student of rape. – Sapa
