Former She Cranes rugby player Lillian Ikulumet has been granted asylum in Germany claiming she had been raped, beaten and discriminated against for shafting fellow babes.
She was the captain of the all conquering Kyadondo Rugby Club based Thunderbirds women’s team. “Some guys broke into my house and started raping and beating me,” Lillian was quoted by DW news.
The rugger who carries a scar on the face with short, spiky dreadlocks explained that it was inevitable to quit Uganda. “The men told me: Until you stop being a lesbian, we will continue to do this to you.” The former Daily Monitor sports reporter frequented Europe at the height of her career until she stopped writing for unknown reasons.
She had a brief stint later with The Observer, keeping a very low profile with less visits at Kyadondo Rugby Club. Lillian only shares her secret with close friends in Germany.
At the end of the year she wants to leave the gay hostel where she is hiding and move into an apartment of her own. She said she wants to find a job and apply for a visa for her girlfriend, who she hopes to marry.
