The Olerato case? It's tragic. Horrific. But let me say the thing nobody wants to admit: South African women don’t want to take accountability in anything. Everything is always our fault ..; SA men. We get dragged, slandered, cursed out the second something like this happens, even if we weren’t the ones who did it. Even when it’s a foreign serial killer behind the murder, it’s still us catching the smoke.
It’s all men. South African men. Accountability is always one-sided, I'm tired.
Some of you women are more loyal to foreigners with fake flashy lifestyle than to your own brothers who try to warn you. You meet these guys on online, they don’t want to video call, don’t want to meet in public, they throw money and lifestyle in your face ..; and that’s all it takes? But we’re the problem?
When we try to warn you ..; “Be careful with these guys,” “You don’t know them,” ..; we’re called jealous, broke, insecure. Until someone ends up dead. And then suddenly, we’re disgusting? We’re useless? We’re the ones who “don’t protect women”?
At this point, we don’t even know how to sympathize anymore. Every time we speak, we’re silenced. Every time we warn, we’re mocked. And when things go south, we’re blamed.
Because the hard truth is: some of you would rather die at the hands of a foreign man than be seen listening to your own brother.
May she rest in peace 🕊️ 🙏 🥺
