Tumi Morake Opens Up About Her Rape Ordeal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Speaking to the Citizen, the comedienne says she was raped when she was younger and that\u2019s how she lost her virginity. \u201cI was raped but never spoke about it till now, and it is probably because of this Khwezi thing. But that was how I lost my virginity,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a result, Tumi says the ordeal affected her for a year and a half, before getting back on her feet. The mom of three says the traumatic experience has equipped her with the necessary strength she needs to achieve whatever she has set her mind on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have an erection every time I walk on stage, a big throbbing erection because this was the one thing that could have ended me, but instead gave me the strength to work harder.\u201d<\/p>\n
