Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Noxolo Maphosa, a niece to political activist Josphat \u201cMzaca\u201d Ngulube, is still stuck in South Africa after she fled the country last year following repeated harassment by suspected State agents.<\/p>\n

Noxolo was allegedly abducted by four men in broad daylight while walking to a butchery near Pick n Pay (Hyper) in Bulawayo in August last year.<\/p>\n

The men blindfolded her and drove to a house where they interrogated her about the whereabouts of his uncle Josphat \u2018Mzaca\u2019 Ngulube.<\/p>\n

Following further harassment even after the family had relocated to a new suburb in Bulawayo, the 24-year-old mother of one skipped the border to South Africa where she has been in hiding since.<\/p>\n

Noxolo who turned 24 this month, said she is scared to return to Zimbabwe and her \u201ccrime\u201d is of being related to an activist. She said:<\/p>\n

2021 is here and my baby and I are still stuck in exile after the state abducted me in 2020. Trying to start afresh in a foreign land is hard and traumatic. God will hear our prayers!<\/p>\n

\u2026 We try and look normal in exile but we are hurting. Today I turn 24, already scared of my country where I am viewed as an enemy of the state. My only crime is related to an activist.<\/p>\n

Ngulube fled Zimbabwe for South Africa after it emerged state security agents were looking for him in connection with the 31 July planned protests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
