A woman has been traumatised and humiliated, after she was raped in front of an 8-year-old child on Monday.
According to SAPS, the woman was awoken in the early hours of the morning by knocking on her window. She got up to investigate the sound and noticed her male neighbour standing outside.
Furious, the woman opened the window and demanded to know how the man had entered the property with the gate locked. He then pulled out a knife, pointed it at the woman and forced his way into the house through the open window.
SAPS officials said the knife-wielding man chased the woman around her house, eventually grabbing hold of her and dragging her out of the house and across the ground to his own home next door. He is said to have then raped her repeatedly in front of his 8 year-old daughter.
Police are now investigating the matter.
