At about 6pm, the would-be rapist visited the victim and her sister, who were enjoying drinks in the victim’s backroom.

After returning to her backroom, the victim’s boyfriend left and she fell asleep, leaving the door unlocked.
The woman alleged that, at about 3am, she woke to find the man on top of her. She fought him and he fled with her clothing. She was taken to the Nthabiseng Healthcare Facility for treatment and police have launched a manhunt for the alleged rapist.
