'' The Lion mother'' The woman who fought with her daughter's rapists in South Africa
Nokubonga Qampi has been known as "Lion Mama" after killing one of the three men who demanded his daughter and injured others. He was charged with murder - but after a public complaint the charges were canceled, and he was able to make an effort to ensure that his daughter survived injury.
It was midnight when the call awakened her and told her daughter is trouble.
The girl who was calling her was 500 kilometers away from her home - and she told her daughter, Siphokazi, was being raped by three men who were all familiar with them
Nokubonga's first answer was to call the police, but no one answered his phone. He knew that it would take time to get to his village, a green grassy mountainous region of Eastern Cape province in South Africa.
She was the only one who could help his daughter.
"I was afraid, but I had to go because she was my daughter," she said.
"I thought that when I got there, she might have died ... Because she knew her rapists, and because they knew her and knew she knew them, they might have to kill her to prevent being reported."
Siphokazi had visited her friends in the village but had been left alone, sleeping when they left out for seven hours. then three men who were drinking alcohol in one old house attacked her..
The judge in the case of Nokubonga against rapists said it showed "he had a feeling of anger" when he saw one of the men striking his daughter a, while the other two standing side by side with their pants on their knees, waiting for their time to arrive.
Judge Mbulelo Jolwana continued to say, "I understood that he was very mad." But what he remembers today about his story, she admits she was afraid of her and the and her daughter image shows sadness and bitterness.
