WATCH: TRAUMATISED NELLI TEMBE
A video shared on Twitter reveals a traumatised Nelli Tembe screaming and crying while people are trying to calm her down.
“Look what he’s doing, you guys don’t know what he’s been doing to me,” screamed Nelli in the video.
The video was posted in Twitter user Mohale Motaung’s tweet about abusers and captioned:
“Heartbreaking. There are adults in this room treating her like she’s the crazy one. This girl was left to deal with an abuser alone.”
Tweeps in the comments section seemed to think that Nelli Tembe was being silenced.
“Thula? Phola?relax? No they were trying to silence her. Those men should be coming forward, they know something. But they probably won’t coz this is South Africa,
Wrote @J0zigirl.
“This child was abused yazi…… and where are these people who are trying to calm her in the video, why are they not speaking up on what really transpired,” wrote @@Miss_Tracee.
BLAMING NELLI?
Another video in the same setting shows Nelli crying on the floor while the person taking the video claims that she is under the influence and tried to jump off the balcony.
The male voice in the video further claims that he has a witness who knows he did not fight back. Tweeps seem to think AKA recorded this particular video. However, there is no confirmation of this.
Twitter jury is out
Tweeps in the comments section are convinced AKA is guilty of abuse.
That time his busy defending himself to say he didn’t fight back and none of us knows what he did after recording that video….This is just something else
