Johannesburg - The woman Jacob Zuma allegedly raped never told him to stop having intercourse with her, the Johannesburg High Court heard on Wednesday.
"I couldn't talk, I couldn't move, I couldn't do anything," she said while being cross-examined by Zuma's lawyer Kemp J Kemp.
She had told him "stop" more than once while he was massaging her before the alleged rape took place at his Johannesburg home.
The woman had also not resisted when he held down her hands and forced her legs open. "I was shit scared," she told the court.
Kemp also questioned her on why she thought Zuma had asked her during the alleged rape if he should ejaculate inside her or not.
She did not know the reason for this.
Uniformed cops on the property
Kemp said a man would generally ask this of a woman to establish whether she was safe from falling pregnant.
"Such a question indicates a measure of trust in your partner. The question can only be of use if the person asking it expects a truthful answer," Kemp told her.
Another reason for the question was to establish whether the woman was sexually satisfied.
However, the woman disagreed, saying Zuma had not asked her when he could ejaculate but if he could ejaculate inside her.
Had she said no to Zuma during the intercourse, Kemp told the woman he would have asked her why she did not say "no" louder, or even shout.
Asked whether she was aware there were uniformed policemen on the property the night of the incident, she said she was.
Zuma has admitted to consensual sex with the woman, but denies raping her.
