The group held a picket outside the KwaDwesi police station where another alleged victim opened a rape case against the same pastor.
The 29-year-old said he had been triggered to post the alleged incident on social media by recent reports of rape and gender-based violence cases shared on social media in the past month.
In the post, he said he had never reported the issue to the police because he wanted to put it behind him and feared that society would accuse him of seeking attention using a well-known man’s name. The protesters delivered a memorandum of grievances to the KwaDwesi police station in which they demanded urgency and sensitivity in the handling of LGBTQI+ cases by police, LGBTQI+ protection units at all police stations, provision of psychosocial support to victims and survivors of gender-based violence against LGBTQI+ community members, among other grievances.
