The Soweto West Cluster’s Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit is investigating a case of kidnapping and several counts of rape following an incident that took place at about 8pm on Saturday, April 7.
“It is alleged that two female victims, aged 36 and 38, were walking together after they had met each other for the first time on their way from Lenasia to their respective homes at Phumla Mqashi informal settlement, Univille,” said Sergeant Khalipha Mvula of the Lenasia South SAPS. They were allegedly confronted by seven suspects who then took both of them to a nearby shack and forced to lie down on the same bed. All seven suspects then took turns in raping them.
“After their terrible ordeal one of the victims went to a neighbour’s house where she spent the rest of the night before deciding to report the rape to the police,” said Sergeant Mvula.
According to Mvula, the other victim has not yet approached the police for assistance.
“The police urge the victim to report to the nearest police station so that she can receive professional assistance to help her deal with this unfortunate incident that she has experienced at the hands of criminals,” Mvula said.
