I’ve got an Uncle who went to jail for defilement, except it wasn’t defilement
The girl was 19 and his GF but when he stopped giving her money her mother told her to report him for defilement
She was tiny & they faked her age, The year was 2005. My uncle got arrested & stayed in

Jail for 5 years without trail, when he finally appeared in court he was sentenced to 25 years in prison
The girl went back to the police to change her statement but she was turned away
My uncle didn’t have any lawyers or any supportive family members to help him
He has been in

Jail for 15 years now, during his time he completed his grade 12 & got 7 points, he took a course in Automotive Mechanics and became a teacher for other inmates.
He found God and took another course in Theology, He is now a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering and a pastor

During his jail time his mother always made time to visit him with Goods and money, my grandma who is now 85 and has started showing signs of dementia and severe arthritis has not been able to Go and visit him for the past two years but she has been praying for his release every

Day, praying that she gets to see him again before she dies, praying that he becomes free. Whenever she gets her Social service allowance she would send all of it to him via mobile money.
Two days ago my Uncle was pardoned on good behavior and met with my grandma today.
I can

Only imagine the tears that she cried after so many years of being anguished, all those trips she made to visit him prison after prison
Every little amount of money she spent on him and how she was his pillar throughout the injustice he suffered.
I remember praying for him

Too, I know it has taken long but the prayer has finally been answered.
