In an affidavit that she submitted to Kezi police, who had taken over the investigation, the 19-year-old girl wrote:
I wish to withdraw a fake report I filed against Anele Ndebele on Monday, October 14. I claimed that he r_ped me when in actual fact I had an affair with Anele sometime during the festive season and I had consensual s_x with him. The affair ended in February this year after Anele discovered that I was still at school.
The girl said that she framed Ndebele thinking that her parents would call and discuss the matter since he had worked with her father sometime back.
