"Trying To Heal"- Lerato Moloi Reveals She's On A Journey Of Healing



 In 2018, Moloi accused Tol Ass Mo of raping her when they were working on a production in Western Cape. Through her lawyers, Lerato said that she would not be silenced. “For many years, I have been battling to find the courage and support to speak up against a number of acts of violence that have happened to me.












“In 2014, I was sexually assaulted and raped by Mongezi 'Toll Ass Mo' Mahlangu while working on a television production in Paarl, Western Cape.












“For numerous reasons, I did not open a case at the time and only shared this experience with one of the other participants on the show”, she said in the statement.








After a lengthy legal battle, Toll Ass Mo was acquitted of all the rape charges leveled against him by Moloi.








The comedian released a statement saying he had always maintained his innocence and said Moloi should face the music for the “false and malicious allegations."








He revealed that he would be pursuing the legal route against Moloi because the allegations caused immense damage to his family and his career.








“I have maintained my innocence despite the false and malicious claims of an alleged rape made by Ms. Lerato Moloi, which has caused immense damage to me, my family, my children, my professional reputation, and subsequent loss of livelihood negatively affected my overall mental health and emotional wellbeing.












“As such, I am currently pursuing charges of slander, defamation of character, as well as malicious prosecution against Ms. Moloi. [I am also pursuing] civil charges to cover the total legal costs incurred and the comprehensive loss of income suffered during this time.








“In addition, I will also be pursuing the necessary legal action against the parties responsible. In section 35(3) of the South African constitution, every accused person has the right to a fair trial and, in sub-section (3)(h), the right to be presumed innocent and to remain silent.," read the statement.
