Image Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n For a better part of her adult life, Rebecca Malope was not associated with any man as her lover. This is because the singer grew up with a phobia for marriage due to the experience she had while growing up.<\/p>\n
She revealed that her father was a very abusive man towards her mother. He physically abused her on more occasions than one, and at a point, he attempted to kill her by throwing her in a river full of crocodiles, but she managed to survive the act. In fact, the abuse her mother suffered started even before the birth of Rebecca. Her father beat up her mother when she was pregnant with the singer, which led her to give birth to her daughter prematurely.<\/p>\n
The queen of gospel, as she is famously known, also felt the abusive grunt of her father as he would also beat her. One day, he returned home and fetched her brother and sister, leaving her behind with her mother. That was the last time she would see him for a very long time until she became famous and he became old, sick, and broke. Her mother did not want her to have anything to do with him, but when she got a call that he was sick, she still decided to see him because she wanted to have answers to events of her dark past.<\/p>\n
Because of all she went through at the hands of her father, Rebecca had men coming to marry her, but she always rejected them because she was scared they may later change and abuse her just like her father did.<\/p>\n
Apart from what her father did to her and her mother, her uncles also abandoned them, and her sister was killed<\/a> by her boyfriend. More to her experiences with men, she was raped by her aunty’s husband when she was young. All these experiences came together to make her fear ever getting married.<\/p>\n
