Title: Life After Rape. Survivor Portrait Series.
Description: It was on one Friday afternoon in 2008, while Tessa was having dinner and celebrating her girlfriend’s birthday for an intimate evening at her house in Khayelitsha, a township in Cape Town, that they were attacked by what appeared to be a group of men. Tessa cannot remember the event and only came to her senses three days later, cold, frail and numb in a forested area miles away from where she had been. Disorientated, she made her way back to her own home. It was only the next day, when she stripped to have a shower and saw the state of her body, that she suspected the worst. She was covered in bruises and her private parts were completely numb. . Not able to think clearly she initially suspected that her girlfriend had even been involved in what might have been a sadistic prank. It was only months later that she found out through a mutual friend that her partner had been raped and killed. When she finally plucked up the courage to go to a clinic to report what had happened, s

Title: Life After Rape. Survivor Portrait Series.
Description: “It’s difficult to write this, but I believe it is important. I was raped over 20 years ago by a boy a few years older than me. The first adult I told, told me to keep quiet and forget about it. I listened. I remember crying a lot and being very angry at the world. I remember finding out what a virgin was and realizing that I wasn’t one. When I was 9 teachers were asked why I was acting out. At 13 a doctor thought I was experiencing symptoms from trauma when I was diagnosed with a chronic condition. At 14 I was sent to the first psychologist and over the next ten years saw another three. At 20 I landed in rehab for five weeks…yet no one helped me with the sexual abuse until I was 26 and met Reinette Evans, the lady sitting on the floor in the photograph. At 20 after a failed suicide I made the decision not to make my best friend, Lesley du Preez live through my death. My wish to die never left, but I stuck to my decision. She is the only reason that I am alive today because I w

Title: Life After Rape. Survivor Portrait Series.
Description: Sarel was abused as a teenager by his two brothers. For almost two years they would pin him down and his private parts were subjected to an aggressive form of sexual torture, to the extent that his ability to have children was damaged irrevocably. His mother and father were aware of the abuse but stood by and did nothing. Sarel’s initial feelings of helplessness quickly turned to anger and hatred and he began to have murderous thoughts towards his two brothers. This would ultimately lead to four decades of a life driven solely by rage and violence and extreme self-abuse especially with alcohol. Sarel never considered what happened then to be sexual abuse and buried those childhood events deep inside, along with all the powerful emotions that went with it. . At the age of 16 he left home and joined the Army. Only three months into his service he joined Special Forces and was sent into the killing fields in Angola. There, Sarel felt he almost had a Green Card to act out the wor

Description: " I was sexually abused and raped at a very young age by someone I loved and adored. My whole world fell apart and the only way I knew how to deal with what was happening to me was to push it as far away in my mind as I could. In my early thirty's I started having panic attacks and flash backs and suffered badly from anxiety and depression. When I did start to professionally deal with my past I was devastated and a wreck for many years. The only thing that pulled me through it all was my love for my children. I remember my Higher Power saying to me one day,"Live for your children." I focused on them completely and being a Mother, who wants everything for her children, that is what I did. When I wanted to end it all, when the pain got so bad and I felt like I was being ripped apart, I looked at my children. They were my determination to live and to be the best I could be for them.

Title: Life After Rape. Survivor Portrait Series.
Description: “There is a realisation that it is never really over.”. Ruth was raped by an older man who would follow her from school after sports practice when she was 13 years old. At first he kept his distance. He followed her regularly for a while and started to appear at school sports events and eventually in every aspect of her daily life. Every time he would get closer she would run. One evening though, when she set off to go to the local shop, he grabbed her and dragged her into the bushes and raped her. . Ruth was too scared to tell anyone, especially her mum for fear that she would be furious with her. As is so common in South Africa, Ruth feared that her mum might blame her for what had happened. . Following her ordeal, Ruth’s behaviour changed. What had happened stayed at the forefront of her thoughts.

Title: Life After Rape. Survivor Portrait Series.
Description: “I am a rape victim. In my silence two perpetrators got away. I felt more than shattered, dirty and ashamed. I became numb and withdrawn. I thought no one cared and that all I was good for was sex. For a long, long time I was in a very dark and lonely tunnel with no hope – just suicidal. Then I got raped again for the third time and that morning I had to go to work. I was in such a state I couldn’t think clearly and a very special friend saw something was wrong and asked. I thought I was going to keep it a secret again, but I was honest and told her I was raped. She encouraged me to lay charges, so I did. Later I found out that the perpetrator had raped other people too, but I was the only one who had the guts to take him to court. Now because I did he is in jail. I want to tell all the other rape victims out there who might be silent like I was, that your perpetrator could be raping others. There is hope and life after rape.

When he did that, he thought he had won – taken it all at the end of the day – all the strength, all the power, all the love and especially all the dignity. But who am I to give myself up?

Description: Cindy was raped by her stepfather from the age of 10 and gave birth to 2 children out of the sexual abuse she suffered. . After the first child was born when Cindy was only 14 years old, her stepfather forced her to lie and cover up for him by claiming that the father was a fictitious boyfriend who had absconded. After the second child was born though, he was forced to own up to her mother. Instead of protecting her child, Cindy’s mother became jealous of their supposed relationship and distanced herself from Cindy. She considered her to be a love rival rather than a daughter who needed her urgent protection. Not once did Cindy’s mother believe what had happened to be abuse and a terrible betrayal by a man in a position of paternal responsibility. It was left to Cindy’s uncle to try and rescue the situation. He insisted that Cindy and her mother leave the stepfather and encouraged Cindy to bring criminal charges against him.

Description: African Buffalo orCape Buffalo (Syncerus caffer). Near Olifants Camp. Kruger National Park. Mpumalanga. South Africa. The African buffalo is a very robust species. It is up to 1.7 metres high, 3.4 meters long. Savannah type buffaloes weigh 500–900 kg, with males, normally larger than females, reaching the upper weight range. It is one of the most successful grazers in Africa, lives in swamps, floodplains as well as mopane grasslands and forests of the major mountains of Africa. Buffalo prefer habitat with dense cover such as reeds and thickets. Herds have also been found in open woodland and grassland. While not particularly demanding with regard to habitat, they require water daily and therefore depend on perennial sources of water. The buffalo can subsist on tall, coarse grasses. Herds of buffalo will reduce grass level to the height that is preferred by selective grazers. When feeding, the buffalo makes use of its tongue and wide incisor row to eat grass more quickly than most other African herbivores.

Description: African Buffalo or Cape Buffalo (Syncerus caffer). Near Olifants Camp. Kruger National Park. Mpumalanga. South Africa. The African buffalo is a very robust species. It is up to 1.7 metres high, 3.4 meters long. Savannah type buffaloes weigh 500–900 kg, with males, normally larger than females, reaching the upper weight range. It is one of the most successful grazers in Africa, lives in swamps, floodplains as well as mopane grasslands and forests of the major mountains of Africa. Buffalo prefer habitat with dense cover such as reeds and thickets. Herds have also been found in open woodland and grassland. While not particularly demanding with regard to habitat, they require water daily and therefore depend on perennial sources of water. The buffalo can subsist on tall, coarse grasses. Herds of buffalo will reduce grass level to the height that is preferred by selective grazers. When feeding, the buffalo makes use of its tongue and wide incisor row to eat grass more quickly than most other African herbivores.
