In a post last year she wrote: "Sometimes, flashes of reality threaten to rip my heart apart trying to convince me it's not a dream, but it is. We take so much for granted."

Today, the Model and Actress took it to twitter to narrate the disrespect and fear she has over the Joburg Police officers.

Nomzamo says one day an officer asked to touch her thighs for skipping the traffic lights something that diverts from traffic penal codes but rather a sexual harassment scenario.

Asked by one of her fans why she has to skip the red Lights, Nomzamo replied that she is always living in constant fear especially when it's dark  or desert spot worrying about the smash and grab.

Because, I'm a woman. I'm CONSTANTLY living in fear. If it's a dark, deserted spot, I'm not stopping. I yield. https://t.co/nYeGYvoN7Z

If I'm driving at 9/10pm and it's through spots where smash and grab is rife? I YIELD at a red traffic light, look around and drive.
