Earlier, a woman testified that she was sexually abused by a spiritual counsellor at the mission. 

Her sister - who is a teacher at the mission gave evidence today.

She disputed the testimony of her sibling - telling the Cultural and Religious Right Commission that life at KwaSizabantu has always been wonderful.

The woman said she found her sister's testimony very surprising and full of discrepancies about the time they were growing up."

"I listened carefully to the videos and podcasts and I was trying to think about what happened because I didn't know these things and for me, she swapped all the qualities that my mum had." 

"She's taken that and she has given it to my dad. I don't think I could have had a better father but he was not the father that is explained in the video. The caring, nurturing person she is explaining there is my mother," she said
