Local rape reports are alarming
The local police station has reported an increase in the number of rape cases lately.
TONGA – The local police station has reported an increase in the number of rape cases lately.
According to Lt Nthomfuthi Mashiane it has been ascertained that some of these cases can only be prevented by the victims of this crime.
It has come to the attention of the police that young women walk alone on the streets late at night or even go to liquor outlets at night without having transport to take them home.
Tonga SAPS is therefore warning the community, particularly women; to take extra precautionary measures to safeguard themselves against rape and never pass through the river at night especially the Nkomazi River.
It is advisable to go in numbers when walking at night on the street and to organise some means of transport when attending a party.
