    “Oh, my baby, you are loved. I’m sorry we couldn’t protect you then, but we are here for you now!”

    Millionaire donates to sexual assault victim

    A South African millionaire moved Mzansi when she donated money towards the sexual assault victim’s education after the school expelled her. The principal allegedly refused to allow any internal investigation of the case to be done.

    The mother touched many people after she told her 7-year-old daughter's disturbing story that happened five months ago. Mzansi took it upon themselves to fight for justice.
