'We had unprotected sex' - Letter
"I met a certain minister who promised to help me with business.."
ON 16 October, Joyce Molamu sent an SMS to our sister publication Sunday Times senior investigative journalist Mzilikazi wa Afrika asking for advice on how to handle her problems with Fikile Mbalula.
This is what she wrote, and it’s unedited:
“I don’t know how to start with this but I strongly feel that it needs to be done to protect our society. And I need your advice as I do not want my name to be publicized.
“Certain government officials, promise young girls business in return 4 sexual favours,they pick up girls from night clubs, have sex with them & most of them do not use condoms...
“I met a certain minister who promised to help me with business, we had a few drinks, then later on went to my place. We had unprotected sex as he kept on telling me how much he loved me & wld luv to hv a child with me. My house mates arrived, whn he walked out of my bedroom we had an audience.
“A few weeks later I missed my periods. I called ths minister, only to find out to my shock that he didn’t evn remember my name anymore. Wich means he could be used to sleeping around with girls without protection & forget about them.
“I told him I was pregnant & I have sms records of all our conversations. He acknowledged having unprotected sex with me & offered to pay for the abortion procedure.
“I later on received calls & sms’s from his wife calling me names, calling me a slut spreading aids. Later on I received calls from his best frnd (another politician) demanding to take me to the clinic to have an abortion. I refused & I hv been receiving calls from someone claiming to be calling from City Press saying I shld sell them my story.
“And it is popular knowledge that ths particular minister has also made another model pregnant. In 1 of my anger sms’s to him I did indicate that I wld go to the papers to expose him.
“I’m @ a point where I fear for my life as I hv decided to keep our child. I know I was wrong to sleep with a married man & i know how the media can destroy one’s life.
“I just need your expert advice on the following: should I decide to have the story published what wld be the legal battles I might face 4rm the minister, is it possible to warn other women of these men without my identity being revealed? I do not want other girls to fall in the same trap as I have.”
INCENSED: Fikile Mbalula’s wife Nozuko is said to have called Molamu names over the phone.

It is a shameful behavior.nduduzo
@Joyce MolamuJoyce you are a bitter woman, because had you gotten the business deal or business help that you so wanted from the minister you would have kept quiet puffed your chest and called yourself a business woman of note possibly even calling yourself an independent woman who is selfmade. You would have taken offence to a suggestion of you having slept your way tothe top. My suggestion to you joyce is to get a job.

Joyce c'mon what the hell were you expecting from fikile's wife to invite you over so you can discuss fikile's fav sex position? i mean honestly girl you disrespected yourself but most you disrespected his wife and hell i dont wanna start with that horny bustard he got exactly what he deserved pity an innocent wife is just caught in the middle eishIZABA
Joyce my dear, what line of business are you in that needed you to go to the minister, I suppose Kabelo and Zizi did the same thing to you, U have shamed young black women who work hard, not through connectionsto make it out there, and then the R10.00 and R40,000 were not mentioned in the advise seeking letter, how convenient??? and then vele, why sleep with married man and expect him to wake up the next day to embrace you, cheap as you are, next it will be Kenny, what happened to ordinary man, let me dish it out to you free of charge, you are a gold digger, only that you have no clue where to dig, so the least we know, all three menn are heavyweights, how convenient. Its gud they all dump you, u r a piece of crap as far as I am concerned, looking for celebrity status even if it standsto expose how cheap you are, SHAME ON YOU!!!!, how much did you make with the story, some morals of a street cat you have...mshuluban
My Q is : if every intention of your attempt were successfull, expossing this "SO CALLED MINISTER" was it still gonna be considered??? if your answer it's NO! then we not intrested on hearing the other disadvantage side of your story.. For the fect that you even had unprocted sex, this goes without saying that your intension were not for business but for exectly what you are.. NOW since thing are not going according to your plans, you pretend to be a "GOOD MSAMRIYA"..MamaNeo
This woman is so dump! Can't she see that this men saw how easy she is to open her legs? She must just accept that she got used and move on and built a better life for her baby! Opening legs is not a solution to a better life! Do we look stupid when we wake up and come to work?Mdav
She has always bin the beach! we have always forked her an she said notting! Now that He is the public figuare she wants to earn someting an break some 1s marriage. I know she refuses 2 use protection. Face this by yourself slat!maemumusenwa

The reason Mbalula failed dismally in Mangaung was also because of his promiscuity, sad that Zuma's was overlooked.Read all 10 comments
