Naledi Chaba's caseload is bulging with stories of rape and abuse. So when she takes on the case of a 15-year-old girl who has been raped by the lodger, she's on a familiar battleground, involving her own peers. And it's not only JJ, her silk-shirt-wearing, cigar-smoking legal opponent, who's happy to avoid taking moral responsibility. Justice Mmung, the High Court Judge hearing the case, has secrets in his past. It's yet another example of hypocrisy in high places, and she's tired of it.
