The star recently revealed on Instagram that she was a victim of sexual assault and was now allowing herself to heal.
Zizo Tshwete has opened up about the trauma she experienced after being abused several times as a child, saying she was crippled with fear and disbelief.
Zizo detailed how she was abused on three occasions before she turned 18. "As a little girl, I was taken advantage of by a family friend, and threatened into not sharing what happened. The trauma was literally blocked out of my mind. Later on, as a teen, a similar situation happened at a hangout with some friends.
"Then, the third time was when I was taken advantage of by a medical practitioner. I went in for a consultation, and ended up being touched inappropriately. All of this happened before I was 18." She admitted that she was paralysed by fear after these incidents and constantly debated with herself on whether they were real or if anyone would believe her.
