Happy Simelane, a South African woman, has recently revealed on a podcast that she had falsely accused a man of r*pe years ago.
She explained that she was 19
and the man was 3 years older than her when he got her pregnant.
She admitted that they were
dating and the s*x was consensual but because South Africans consider it a
taboo for their women to date Nigerian men, she couldn't tell the truth when
her family falsely accused him of r*ping her.
Happy said the man, who was
still new in the country and had not spent up to a year in South Africa, was
arrested and detained for “seven to eight months”.
She said his mother had to sell
her business to pay lawyers to defend her son.
Eventually, the woman said she
told her family that the man in jail was her boyfriend and he was responsible
for her pregnancy.
After she gave birth, a DNA
test was done and when it was discovered that the man is the biological father
of his accuser's child, he was freed.
The r*pe accuser said her
child's biological father left South Africa after that and went to Europe
because he was “traumatised”.
On her part, Happy moved on and
married but she told her husband that her child's father was dead. She also told
her daughters the same story.
Years later, she said the
Nigerian man began reaching out to her in 2020, sending her “Happy New Year”
and “happy birthday” messages and she ignored him because she wanted to leave
her past buried.
Her husband recently died in a
car accident while with his side chick. The side chick survived.
Happy said the Nigerian man
reached out three months later to sympathise with her and told her they needed
to talk but he would give her time to grieve.
She said she eventually
responded to his chat following her husband's death.
Happy added she respects him
for respecting that she is grieving and for respecting her marriage when her
husband was alive.
During the interview, she also
admitted that she was the one who “broke” the Nigerian man's “virginity” yet
she claimed he r*ped her. When she said this, the other ladies on set cheered
and clapped for her.
“So, his only crime was being
born from another country?” the male host asked.
“Yeah,” the lady responded.
She also added that the
Nigerian man had proposed to her before leaving for Europe when she was 19 but
she couldn't accept him at the time.
Happy, who is now a
mother-of-three, is reportedly now engaged to the Nigerian man, said to be from
the South East. A video shared online shows his family receiving her warmly when
she visited Owerri, Nigeria.
Happy Simelane has since taken
to her instagram to address backlash, saying her man came from a respectable
home and he wasn’t back to her life to scam her. She added that his family has
forgiven her.
