The woman who accused President Jacob Zuma of rape 10 years ago has died.
Fezekile Ntsukela Kuzwayo known as Khwezi died yesterday.
In a statement the family says there will be a private family funeral and a public memorial service.
“She was a loving soul. A daughter, a sister and an aunt we will forever hold dear in our hearts. We loved her in life, let us never forget her after death.”
The family have asked that they be given the space to mourn privately as they make funeral preparations.
In December 2005 President Zuma was charged with rape and on the 8 May the following year the Johannesburg High Court acquitted him.
The woman he was accused of raping became known to the public as “Khwezi” to protect her after multiple threats and facing a barrage of insults and harassment.
