Jacob Zuma's rape accuser says she will never reconcile with the former deputy president.
And the 32-year-old, who was granted humanitarian asylum in the Netherlands, claims she still feels betrayed by Zuma.
In an interview granted to the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant on Tuesday, she hit out at Zuma, saying: "How on earth can someone have sex with his daughter? It is too disgusting for words. I considered him to be my father.
"I wish he was dead. I would like him to no longer exist, to be spared of seeing his face popping up in the newspapers," the woman, nicknamed "Khwezi" by her supporters, told De Volkskrant.

'I have been raped earlier by comrades' And she didn't hold back on her criticism of the ANC, saying: "I have been raped earlier by comrades. No one dares to come out into the open about that. That is why nothing is ever done about it."
Speaking about the threats made against her after she charged Zuma, Khwezi said: "Many people told me that they feared for my life. But nearly no one stood up for me. I knew that I could trust no one. And that is still the case.
"The ANC was my family, and I've lost my family."
She described her sexual encounter with Zuma in graphic detail in the interview, saying the experience was a massive betrayal of trust.
In the months after Khwezi laid a rape charge against Zuma, her mother's home was burgled twice and she was repeatedly taunted as she entered and exited the Johannesburg High Court during the trial.
'I cannot think that I would not have gone through with it' Posters reading "Burn the bitch" and the crowd's attempted stoning of a woman they believed was Khwezi did nothing to ease her fears.
Despite the pain she suffered, however, Khwezi is adamant that she doesn't regret going through with the case.
"I cannot think that I would not have gone through with it. If I did not bring this case before the judge, I could not have lived with myself," she said.
