The woman who accused Walter Magaya of raping her, yesterday came out in the open and said that she never raped by Magaya and was worried the Acting Prosecutor-General was pursuing the matter despite her confession.
In a letter dated December 1, addressed to Acting PG Ray Goba accompanied by an affidavit, the woman insisted that she was never raped and said she did not want the matter pursued. Part of the letter reads:
I have already indicated that I want to withdraw these allegations but the Acting PG is pursuing the matter notwithstanding that I have withdrawn the matter out of my own volition without any undue influence or duress being exerted on me. The reason for the withdrawal is clear and it is that I was never raped, the report in question was simply a false report against the accused person. I understand the repercussions relating to this and I am not going to come back again on the basis of these false rape allegations.
The woman also urged the state to respect her decision to withdrawal the case by not pursuing the matter at the Constitutional Court.
