23-year-old Khensani Maseko, a law student at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa took her own life after she was allegedly raped by her boyfriend in May this year. She died on Friday afternoon at her family home in Johannesburg, about 600 miles north of her University campus.
According to reports, she couldn’t live with the psychological effect the rape left on her. Maseko who was the campus Miss Varsity and was elected to the Rhodes Student Representative Council left a final Instagram post with her date of birth, alongside Friday’s date, the day she died, which means she planned to commit suicide that day. She also accompanied it with the caption: ‘No one deserves to be raped’.
