She’s so articulate! This was a terrifying story, thank you God that they came out alive!! Our police services are a bunch of uneducated failures!
The water works😭😭😭 I couldn't help it. The way she narrates, I swear I was there and experienced everything.
@@katlin1615 i feel for her and her family, because i have been hitchhiking for many years and i know the feeling of trying to be positive when you see the driver taking the route you are not used to. You ask yourself lots of questions, and you silently pray.
Yes, that's true. I think both the Police and the Hospital need a lot of changes. God is good. He saves all of them. We thank him for his mercy towards them. 🙏
@@hlonni_chelsea6711 No more highking, please, but the real South Africans will never do that. Times are changing now at Mzansi people leave their country come into our country do whatever they want. That's bull shit right there. South Africans respect each other they will never pull-start like that. They also appreciate other countries wherever they go. They will never go to their country to kidnap their kids and mothers. I don't understand why these people don't respect South Africa. The slaying our youth with this Nyawupe thing and kidnapping the young girls. Now they try to seize the mother and her kids. That's shameful. The Zulu’s taxi drivers, or I can say South African taxi owners the whole are business people, and I don't think they will risk their permit for stupidity. All that kidnapping, drugs, looting, are the outsiders doing that try to put South Africa down because they fail to help their president to build their country. Instead, they runway from their country come to SA, and messed up our young children minds. I hate people who don't respect South Africa🇿🇦. I wish Ramaphosa could be more firm. Stop being a soft man; SA needs an adamant, strong 💪 President who doesn't care what people say as long he puts the country and South Africans first and make sure the women, young girls, young boys and children are protected.
@@katlin1615 90% pass mark
You can hear in her voice as she narrates the story that she is still emotional and is in healing about this
Terrifying experience 💔😭😭
This story hits home as this happened to me in 2004 when I was 13. I was all alone in the taxi when it happened. I also had to jump out of the taxi and pretend that I was dead for a few minutes. Then had to walk home in the dark just praying to God and hoping that I will make it safe.
Thank God your life was spared
I’m so sorry❤️
So sorry ❤️
Thank you ladies🤗
I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
We need private policing honestly just like we have private hospitals.
Really? No! Then the poor who can't afford are left stranded.
Who is going to pay for that?
Nope!we can't always wish for institutions that will exclude the poor. Even private hospitals are not needed. The only thing we need is government that knows what to do to protect its citizens.Police don't care about protecting the citizens.They are just there because they couldn't find other alternative jobs. They also lack thorough training.Some can't even run. Criminals can easily disarm the police. They are also afraid of criminals. It's so sad that anybody can just come to this country and commit such crimes,while the police and their minister are just watching. We have our own criminals but everyone from outside the country knows that in SA,you can do as you please and you will never be caught.Thanks to our government that keeps on failing us,and us keep on voting them in.
Guys obviously those who can afford will pay, why is it a big deal because there are also private schools and private hospitals 🤷
@@zetmbonambi4425 till today u can't see that u don't have government
The police were shady, it seems they were covering up this whole incident by reducing it to a case of theft....the girls were BRAVE!!💖
It's very suspicious
I think so too. Way too shady. They could have gone to the direction where the BMW went.
I'm sure they are in on it too
Opening a case of human trafficking is too much “paper work” according to the police as these type of cases are taken more seriously when compared theft cases. So it’s easier for them (police) to say it’s theft and just toss the case away. The police have really failed us hey.
Yoh man. This is scary.
Aus Lebo can we have a topic on victims of church/cult.. there are fake pastors robbing people their hard earned money, some even went as far as taking loans or selling their assets to maintain the fake pastors lifestyle. No need to mention church names.
Side note: ahg 😍you're looking so adorable hle.💕
Ooh my goodness! It's like she's talking about a movie 🎥 she watched 💀 she's such a brave young woman 👩
May God continue to give greater strength 💪
Got teary when she started crying. Such a phenomenal young woman she is and so articulate. So intelligent. Trafficking is my worst nightmare and I know that justice isn’t easy because the people meant to protect us are sometimes involved 💔
Thank you so much for the kind words 🥺❤️
Minimum requirement for police should be a Diploma/ Degree..non negotiable.. this thing of Matric & license is not working anymore…
Very true. Senior Certificate is a limitation in all respects
Our justice and health care system is so messed up 😢 I'm so sorry to your and your family. We thank God that He saved your lives 🥺❤️
Try USA health care and you can talk.Crime is as the same,as human trafficking is massive here .So don't beat your country up,we are on the same boat.
So glad they lived to tell their story... TG. One of the reasons traffiking continues is because law enforcement turn a blind eye (probably involved) or are in denial because of their pride. 🙏🏽🙌🏾❤️
Eye Opening. I Love That She Was Articulate. Strange World We Live In.
Your gut never fails you. Glad that they all came out alive. Our civil servants are all paralysed. Police, nurses, home affairs, social services. We are on our own. God help South Africa
Stories like these remind me just how unsafe this world is. I truly appreciate you validating her experience rele,especially after the police tried to down play it as "theft"❤. I don't know if it's possible for you to do an episode on people who were arrested and spent time in jail for false crimes??That would be interesting. Thank you for giving us great content❤❤.
This show made me buy my first bottle of pepper spray. Now it's time to get licensed. Our county isn't safe, ladies...
I am trying to reconcile with how necessary it is to become a concealed weapons carrier, in SA. South Africa is a violent country with a failed police, health and prosecuting system. I am convinced the NPA prefers to prosecute sexual assault perpetrators who kill women, rather then deal with living victims.
Amen sister
Good luck, your government wants to ban guns
You make sure you run when you use it because that person will be super pissed if they get a hold of you
Buy a gas gun ladies, no license needed
Power of payer 😭 only Christ Jesus can help us along with our brave mothers ❤️.
There is a 9year old Zimbabwean boy who was kidnapped from the village was discovered when an officer at the Nairobi border to Tanzania heard a child crying from the car boot .To this this happened when this child was 4years .The mother has been pushing to have her child back as he was taken for safety at an orphanage. But it looks like this time the mother is winning coz there has been a lot of social media influence to have Akim back to his mom .Bit imagine 5years without your child 😭.We thank GOD he survived
This is so sad, I had the same experience also 💔. Would like to unpack it one day. Bcz it still haunts me💔💔😭😭
I love all your guests, they explain their stories perfectly. They put us on the scene to really understand what went down.
It definitely also speaks to the way Relebogile and her crew make the guests feel comfortable and validated. Good job.
This story gives me goosebumps just the thought of how many girls that guy already abducted & sold is just heartbreaking. Thank God they made it out of that situation alive
My thoughts exactly
My guess is way too many...I think it's enough that our government should prioritize this issue...I think people get abducted everyday and trafficked out of the country and sold...it's horrifying
@@zikhona-4111 It's not about the current government prioritising anything, they truly don't care. They're the biggest criminals. It is time to vote them out and vote in a government who'll be hard on crime.
I can relate, in 2018 a similar incident happened to me, I also jumped out of the moving vehicle and prayed before doing so. Its an evil world that we live in.
I hate the fact that justice was not served. Imagine how many people these human traffickers have taken💔how many people weren’t able to make it out of this kind of situation 💔it’s probably a huge operation and this one case could’ve ended the whole thing.
I’m so glad that her and her family were able to get out of that car🥺❤️ So sorry for the trauma y’all went through mama❤️
SAPS irritates me to the core my friend and I got hijacked 3 weeks ago and after the ordeal and being locked up in the boot for 3 hours. when we were released and made to the police station to report the case we were told to wait because the person who was supposed to help had to finish his coffee and when taking my statement he just told me that I'm not the first one, these things happen i will claim from the insurance.we are doomed in this country
Bathong wena, yhooo ai. Its really tormenting to see the most basic service providers who are supposed to be people centric are so careless when it comes to dealing with such cases. They know there are no repercussions for their incompetence. Police and nurses alike, i mean why don't they have a trauma unit to counsel and make follow up with victims after such incidents
This is very disappointing. Our justice has failed us. I am so sorry you had to experience that.
Wowwwww
Body cams are required for all officers
...have we seen much of violence and trauma in this country that we are somehow numb to it?
This story feels like movie. The scariest story I have ever heard😣 My heart is beating fast. Mothers will fight you to the death for their kids.
This is so traumatic. I really commend her, her sister, cousin and mother for their bravery to jump out of the car.
Thank you 🥺
One thing is clear, it is better to just go home than risk getting traumatized even further.
How sad 😢
I keep asking myself what if she was just by herself, coz I feel that by the fact they were more somehow gave them a chance for survival, it's a truly horrifying experience and I'm glad they all survived such horror
Unpacking make us learn a lot of things that happen around us.
@Juliana Kapolo ⁰
You right, we've now learnt that they even call the kidnapped people "in codes" wow. I'm so shocked..
Am glad you guys are fine.... This is just scary.
Inno ...she once told me this story 😭😭😭eish
She is so strong. So full of faith. We thank God you all escaped alive. May traffickers be found and brought to justice.
What an injustice! From the police to the hospital. Oh my goodness 😭💔 this is so painfully frustrating!
Infuriating
She’s a perfect storyteller! Yohh I could picture everything happening 😭
Brave as well, if she ddnt throw herself out no one was gonna survive
Yeah ..me too
She’s a perfect storyteller indeed, I even had mental images as she was sharing her story…
I want to give her the biggest, tightest hug ever! What a brave, quick-thinking young lady!
This narrative where people respond to your trauma with doubt instead of compassion is really dissapointing 😔 the questions are never to understand but rather to undermine. As people we should generally do better.
💯couldnt have said it better than you did. We def need to do better
Second time it was Easter weekend, my flatmate who's also a friend and I hosted our collueges for the weekend so they wanted to explore the pta night life. I was honestly not in the mood but my flatmate insisted that we go her bf will drive us to Moloko around 23h, on arrival they changed their mind and said they're not staying so it's either they drop us at the flat or we'll über back home. Collueges obviously didn't wanna go home so we stayed behind. When it was time to leave we tried über and taxify but there were no drivers available, no meter taxi near the club I think because most people went home for Easter. Eventually some guy heard us stressing and offered us a lift. Sharp it was 6 of us, we got inside his A3 and drove off. As he was driving motho took a different direction and I asked where we going coz that's def not town, he just said he's taking a short cut. Hai next thing we approaching centurion, he then said we going to a party in midrand then he'll bring us back. We obviously declined but he kept driving. Next thing we in midrand and we asked him to drop us on the road bi he didn't stop. Passed garages and he still wouldn't stop. Next thing we approaching leeufontein, it was my first time there. The time is now 3am and we on the gravel road at that moment. He suddenly stopped ko some electric station to pee and it was very dark, no streetlights, no houses nex. Our phones were also off. That was our chance to escape, we ran in those dark bushes till we reached house and a complex. Got into the complex and found someone still up watching TV. There we are in our short dresses and heels, the guy obviously interrogated us before opening, it was 4 of us at that moment coz 2 of our friends took a different direction. He made coffee and let us charge our phones, tried calling our friends but their phones were off. Eventually they sent location, they were at some security gate. The guy who accommodated us went to fetch them with 2 of my friends.on arrival they told us the securities told them not to trust anyone in that area, not even the police coz they work with the traffickers and we were just lucky that we didn't go to the police.
Apparently when you get to the police station they pretend to help you and take you straight to the kidnappers
I cannot wrap my head around the fact that how many times did he succeed...how many women are missing, abducted, killed, sold.....this is too much
I'm glad you made it out alive. Very scary
GEEEZ this was so scary! I hope Innocentia and her family received therapy for this trauma!
God have mercy
Thank you so much 🥺
Honestly, I'd love to know how Relebogile handles all these horror stories off screen. I never get to meet all these incredible human beings and hear these stories in real time, just hearing their stories really gets to me. I hope she's doing well mentally❤️ we love her!❤️
I hope she gets opportunities to debrief. She does need counselling herself. Her and her team.
This is soo scary😭😭 I take taxis everyday and it's so common to be transferred to another taxi for whatever reason and we don't even ask questions yooo😭😭
I'M FROM THE USA AND WE DON'T TRANSFER TO ANOTHER CAB THIS DON'T HAPPEN
I'm a guy and I don't ever wish this horrible thing to happen to any womam in this world 😪....
This is a true story because I had a similar experience a month ago when a Bolt driver who took me to a totally different location to where I was going. Having to fight for your life is one of the most scariest experience ever.
I'm sorry.
This is always my fear. I never rest inside a taxi until I arrive where I am going. Coz even passengers can be in it. I'm sorry girl ❤
Terrifying what goes through people heads. How do you abduct another human being? What kind of dissonance is that? I’m glad you survived. The world needs help.
I also believe the police were involved in the trafficking. The justice system does fail us and it is so infuriating.
RIGHT?!!!
Some people just want money and they don't care how they get it. Such a terrible world we live in 💔
@@Hlonibooboo that's what in my mind dear
A lot needs to change in this country .
SAPS in not helping!!i believe as a Police officer you have to be mindful and have Psychological mind to understand what is the main issue of people who are coming to report crime and stop following the so-called standard procedure because that is not the main case brought by victims...losing a phone is nothing compared to losing a life. And the nurses were supposed to help with councelling , checking heart rate , blood level to make sure everyone is healthy or depressed and give advises on how to overcome state of wellbeing.
They seriously need to consider IQ test before hiring in both departments because wow!
People join the police force mostly because they are not employed. The love for the work and the calling to serve is not there.
I have such fear in my heart. This is a terrible story and it's the worst nightmare.
Well unpacked story sis Lebo. We live in a scary world. The justice and health systems really let you down. I'm glad you guys are safe. ❤️
I love the fact that the killer confessed that prayer was distracting him...they is power in the name of Jesus ❣❣❣💯💢❤🔥
When I was young I also took a lift from an old white man. I was little and naive and I thought an old man or a white man was just being nice. He asked to play with my" cookie". I said no, then I told him how funny it is that I am in the car with him and he was asking me this. I told him I had been praying for an hour for God's protection before he gave me a lift. He told me not to worry he won't me drive me somewhere and rape me or kill me. After I told him this, he just dropped me off and left. God saved me that day. Speaking of God saved me.
Welele
Am glad this family survived this dramatic experience but wonder how many women did these perpetrators hurt, maybe they are still around us killing, raping or doing unthinkable crimes to women. We really living with monsters in this country.
Sounds like the 2 police were involved. They wanted to know what valuable things the family left with the guy working for them so they can demand that from him.
Couldn't stop imagining the incident in my head as she was narrating the story. Scary indeed, I command her courage, may God heal her and her family. Our police force is disappointing
I appreciate this show so much it has strengthened and opened my eyes. Thanks sis Riri 💛 for hosting this
Some of the police officers are actually working with those people💔
i can just imagine everyone jumping out of the car one by one ....this is scarey ...the way these foreigners can perfect isizulu its very scarey....we not safe anywhere ... after watching this angfuni taxi yohhh , not to mention how i fear bolt or uber rides..being a women in south africa is a sport eyyy...ladies get tasers and pepper sprays attack whilst the driver is driving ... after watching this am going to look for a car even if its a UNO... THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US SIS..LOVE, LIGHT AND STRENGTH TO YOU AND FAMILY....
Msunu kanyoko they are working with you
You know what I've noticed with most of these traumatic stories on the podcast, especially things that happen to women? Is that the justice system and how the police and hospitals conduct themselves in general is just pure garbage. The stories are too similar but it's different women....I think that's what terrifies me the most. The fact that we (women) in this country are literally collateral damage no matter how you look at it.
Nothing will happen until we (women) fix it ourselves...we need to take our government to task...we need to say it's enough...we can't be prisoners and prey in our country for the rest of our lives and have our daughters go through the same nonsense...to what end? A country with an GBV endemic and the Department of Women, Youth and people with disabilities is not the busiest...I don't even know who heads it...but rest assured it gets a budget every year
We are terrorized in OUR own country...😞💔💔💔
I want to hug her soo bad... I pray that they find healing as a family and indeed God is there
I've learned that prayer is powerful 🙌🙌
God protect everyone watching this 🤍
No idea how she spoke coz I cried the whole time. I am sorry you went through all that with your family
This is traumatic. I am glad they are safe and it is so unfortunate that the perpetrators are still out there
I'm so glad the perpetrators didn't get what they wanted, imagining what could've happened is daunting really.
Listening to this story was a lot, imagine going through all of this?!!! My God!!! This is traumatic!!! Yhu i hope they received counseling!!!
I am so glad for the prayer that you guys made at that point🙏
Props to this show we learning a lot hle 😍😍❤️❤️🙏
What a brilliant young woman. She has such a bright future ahead and thank God her and her entire family are safe. Why are people so evil. Lets keep one another safe. #BringBackAmahle
Thank you for educating us!
You can feel the fear as she narrates the story. It is really dissapointing that the police didn't pay attention to their experience but thank God they managed to get away.
With all these interviews, the programme has so much to be a mouth piece for the ones not getting justice.
For those ill treated in public sections especially hospitals and The Police.
The stories keeps on piling up on how the system is failing us.
I wish one day all these interviews are used to show our politicians of what ordinary citizens go through in this country.
Relebogile is always on point ❤️ I love her and the way she dresses 🥺❤️ again she's such a good woman
🇧🇼
Truly there is God that hears and answers prayer. I pray that one day justice will take it's cause. I pray for full recovery to you and your family dearest..
I’m shook, but I commend the bravery of these women. Her strength is comforting to me but I wish she had not experienced such at her tender age. She’s is so brave and beautiful.
I still remember on 2 occasions.
First 1 I was from mams on a Sunday, we filled up a taxi and off to town. When we got to the highway suddenly the taxi started having problems and the driver stopped, he then told us he'll call for a backup. Hardly 3 min 3 guys came out of nowhere wearing reflectors comin straight to our taxi, we thought they're coming to help. They had guns and ordered everyone to take out their bags and phones but surprisingly they never demanded money from the driver. Just after they fled another taxi came and took us to town. Thinking about it when I got home it clicked gore entlek it was a setup
Wow...people are evil
it certainly was sis 💔
This is scary and one of my fears, imagine being in a country where no one speaks your language! I pray for continued healing and protection upon you and your family. SAPS? I have no words, thought these cops were only on Gomora...
Ohw! I want to give her a hug😔 I was mugged a few months ago and I'm still even traumatised
I have realized that most of the guests that have stories involving our police officers are always not receiving solutions and they complain of the way they handle situations and cases. What is happening with our policing systems? This is very disappointing indeed
Guys, how do we fix our country?? How do we influence change in our police and health system. Systems that are meant to service this country's citizens. It cannot be that serious cases go unsolved. Do we now as victims have to pay bribes so we can get our cases solved??? Hhaai bo!! I'm listening to this and I am so traumatised.
Zimbambweans and Mozambicans speak Zulu guys. Where would a Zulu from eDududu have taken them?? Think about it. If this girl didn't act, they would have been outside our boarders. We need change South Africans. We cannot keep hearing such horrific stories and then nothing. Hhhaai ngeke I am so hurt and tired shame. Theft??? Theft?? Kanjani when its so clear that this was abduction/ trafficking. Hhhaay no man.
We need God waitsi, back to our Maker on our knees 🙌
Too many women and CHILDREN are being sex trafficked and raped. I’m so sad. The war on women in SA is so terrifying 🙏🏾💔💔💔 those babies deserve justice
Sisi you are brave and beautiful...and I thank God your life and your family's life was spared. I am sad and angry that this happened to you. Thank you for sharing your story. May God continue to bless you and protect you. ❤
This shooooow!!! Thanks for sharing such stories.
I'm so paranoid to a point I now even share my live location to my Family and immediately archive those messages incase I get abducted.
I am so sorry for what happened to this family. We thank God He protected them. I think they need to go for counciling and healing. Trauma is not a joke. It just does not go way. It's lying there dormant and they might get triggers. I pray God will bring complete healing🙏🏾
What a cruel world we live in, thank you Father for saving their souls🙌
SAPS is useless maan!! They make me angry.
We live in such a wicked world. The people who are supposed to help us they don't care. I'm glad that her and her family managed to escape
Shooo SAPS is a joke we are not safe. May God strengthen you and your family
A BIG FAT JOKE
May God continue to bless and keep you all safe.
What pains me most about this story is the fact that there are people who are not so lucky on a daily basis & are living a nightmare because of such animals in our midst.
There is God 🙏thank you for sharing your story and it’s a lesson to look out when traveling using taxi or hiking, and so sad some police officers are not serious and hospitals as well don’t attend patients who need emergency quick.
Thank God You and Your family made it out alive 🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
God is so faithful 😢 whenever we call on him 🥺🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you Lebo this is a lesson
I am glad you all are fine.. We thank God
Oooh Inno my baby💛 So glad that you and your family are okay. Sending you a great big hug😭😭😭
Our justice system fails us time after time. We feel so helpless. God be with your children. Thanx sis Lebo for showing us what exactly is happening around us so we can be more alert and vigilant 🙏❤
As South Africans we don’t have police at this point
Scary that the SAPS couldn't even pretend to care. Unless they are part & parcel of the crimes......... SMH
I feel like they were part of it hey
They usually are. The level of Zero Fcks, is scary.
@@boonaang me too
Oh bethuna! I wish her and her family healing in every way ❤️
Chest pains i am experiencing while watching this..i am so sorry sisi, i am glad you are safe with your family.God indeed lives
So sad. Keep safe guys.
Inno you once told me this story and I'm glad you good 😭😭😭she is very strict she does take details
I'm glad you and your family survived to tell your story... And so sorry for what happened to you....
Shows how incompetent police are, the pain in her voice really got to me I'm sorry for her and her family, these trafficking people work with the police and hospitals too
it is painfull listening to this story even though it way back, i am going through the very same thing, our police are very useless. I am being followed by cars and people who get dropped off to follow me around everytime i set my foot out of my home. To this day i have reported the matter to the police station but no help has been received. it is very painfull and distracts me mentally and emotionally because you do not nkow when they will strike. It is very sad to live in this world as a young woman especially with a body type that people think will be of value to them.
Prayer Prayer Prayer 🙏 We thank God for your Lives, I pray that the Holy spirit comforts and heals your family.😭😭😭
