A 15 year old girl was kidnapped by six men who threatened her with a knife and forced her into a vehicle which was travelling from Leboeng to The Oaks just outside Hoedspruit.

“According to information, the victim was taken by these men who allegedly took turns raping the girl”, stated Hoedspruit police spokesperson, Sergeant Livhuwani Mulaudzi.

Two suspects Kenneth Mokgotho (24) and Siyabonga Mahlangu (20) have been arrested and will appear before the Hoedspruit magistrate’s court on March 20, and the other four suspects are still at large.
