In an emotional video, Amanda revealed her deep concerns, expressing that she felt the justice system had failed her in the past and hopes it will not do the same to Cwecwe.
Previously, Amanda accused musician and TV personality Jub Jub of sexual assault. However, despite her courage in speaking out, her case was dismissed. Now, as the nation closely follows the tragic case of Cwecwe, Amanda’s message has reignited discussions about the failures of the justice system, particularly concerning victims of abuse.

Amanda has been vocal about gender-based violence (GBV) and the struggles survivors face when pursuing justice in South Africa. She has frequently shared her experiences and advocated for reforms in the legal system.
In her video statement, Amanda said, “I spoke my truth, I trusted the system, but it let me down. I just pray that this time, the system does not fail Cwecwe too.” Her words have resonated with many South Africans who have either experienced similar struggles or witnessed cases where justice was not served.

Amanda emphasized how closely she relates to the pain surrounding Cwecwe’s situation, stating, “We cannot allow another victim to suffer in silence. We cannot afford to lose faith in the system.” Her statement reflects the fears of many who worry that South Africa’s justice system does not always prioritize the protection of vulnerable individuals, particularly women and children.
Public Reactions to Amanda’s Statement
Amanda’s powerful message has sparked a wave of reactions on social media. Many South Africans have shown their support, while others have voiced frustration over what they perceive as a failing legal system.
One social media user commented, “Amanda’s pain is real, and so is the pain of many survivors. We stand with Cwecwe and all victims of abuse. Justice must be served.”
Another added, “If the system failed Amanda, a public figure, what hope do ordinary people have? This is heartbreaking.”
Will Justice Prevail?
As the investigation into Cwecwe’s case unfolds, all eyes are on law enforcement and the courts. Amanda’s plea serves as a reminder that victims should be heard, protected, and supported. Whether justice will be served remains uncertain, but her message has reignited a crucial conversation about the need for systemic change.
For now, South Africans continue to rally behind Cwecwe, hoping for an outcome that restores faith in the legal system and ensures justice is served.
