Gang of women on men raping spree

A gang of suspected female rapists terrorising male victims in the area has led the Hoedspruit police warning the residents not to fall prey to these criminals.

According to Hoedspruit police spokesperson, Constable Livhuwani Mulaudzi, the police had recently received numerous complaints about crimes which happened after people were given lifts by strangers.

‘We have received a report from Phalaborwa police about three women who allegedly raped a man when they gave him a lift from Hoedspruit to Phalaborwa.

They were driving a BMW 320i when they picked him up at the hiking spot,’ said Mulaudzi. On the way the unknown suspects offered the man a drink which was unopened.

After drinking the victim became aroused.

They then drove with him into a deserted area where they pointed at him with a firearm.

The suspects then forced themselves physically onto him without using any protection.

‘People must use public transport and stop hitch hiking as it is putting their lives in danger of being robbed, raped or even killed,’ said Mulaudzi.
