He was also wearing a black beanie on and spoke Setswana and Sepedi. He is believed to be aggressive and in possession of a firearm.

His victim was walking towards the Krugersdorp taxi rank when two men grabbed her from behind. One of the attackers strangled her while the other threatened her with a knife.

They forced her to walk past the taxi rank to a nearby field that the victim did not recognise. According to the victim, the attackers then started arguing about their plans for her. After the argument the one attacker left and the other (pictured) raped her.

Later that night he moved the victim to a place where she said she saw plastic and cardboard box shacks. He told her that if she made any noise, the people living in the shacks would come out and gang rape her.

He kept her in one of the shacks and proceeded to rape her throughout the night.

In the morning he showed her the way out and she continued on to the taxi rank and then home before informing the police.

Anyone with information can call Sergeant Buthelezi on 084 338 8241.
