Rape has become a huge issue in South Africa. In 2019, there were numerous cases of sexual assault including the one of Uyinene Mrwetyana. In 2020, the sexual assault of Yamkela had the South African youth speaking on social media. The lady was allegedly raped by her boyfriend’s friend “Siyanda Viper Mxenge” while the boyfriend was out.
The lady voice recorded the whole incident. The woman is heard saying no to the man several times as he pleaded to have intercourse with her. She also told him that what he did was wrong but he still tried to force himself on her. She begged him not to do it, which ended up in her crying and screaming. However, she ended up having to negotiate with the man who sexually assaulted her until he was done. The lady had to wait for him till he was done.
Black Twitter reacted to the horrendous event between Yamkela and the man named Siyanda ‘Viper’ Mxenge. One tweep says, “Today I finally got to understand what a rape scene is like. It’s a short moment filled with many traumas and psychological shifts all aimed at achieving the least possible harm…I therefore know why there’s a lot of women who do not report it…” One tweep says, “I really regret listening to those VNs, my heart is shattered into pieces.” The man is reported to be appearing in court on the 11th of March.

Police confirmed the authenticity of the clip and that the suspect known as Siyanda “Viper” Madubula has since been arrested and appeared at Maclear District Court in the Eastern Cape.
The clip was recorded at the home of the woman’s boyfriend in Bhekela Section in Ugie where she had been waiting for him with his best friend, Madubula, 25. In the recording, a person said to be Madubula can be heard asking the woman to perform oral sex on him, but she politely rejects his advances.
This seems to anger Madubula who is then heard strangling the woman.
“Viper I can’t breathe. Please don’t hurt me. Rather masturbate,” the woman could be heard pleading for her life.
Viper is then heard breathing heavily saying he will put on a condom.
“You are scaring me. My boyfriend knows my story. I’ve been raped twice before and now this. You are opening old wounds.” A physical squabble then ensues and her muffled cry is heard as the suspect begs her to stop crying while he is raping her.
The incident happened in the early hours of February 3.
Eastern Cape police spokesperson Brigadier Tembinkosi Kinana confirmed a case of rape was opened on the same day of the incident.
“We can confirm that we are aware of a voice recording in circulation on social media and it forms part of police investigation. A case of rape in relation to this incident has been opened. A 25-year-old suspect was charged with rape,” said Brigadier Kinana. The suspect is expected to appear in court today. He is still in police custody.
The victim’s sister told The Star that her sibling had made the recording after the suspect came into her room naked.
“Viper is a very close friend of my sister’s boyfriend. The two had been drinking together earlier. The boyfriend passed out and Viper decided to go and attack my sister because he knew she had been waiting at her boyfriend’s house.
She recorded him after he started making sexual advances at her. She wanted to use the clip to show her boyfriend that she is not cheating on him with Viper. She didn’t know that he was going to rape her,” said the sibling.
The victim’s cellphone has since been taken by police to form part of the investigation.
