Woman raped after robbery

Two men are on the run after allegedly robbing and raping a woman.

A woman was raped after two men robbed her and a colleague in Soshanguve on Wednesday.

Patience Baloyi (32), who asked to be named, said she was working night shift at the Mabopane Substation when she and a colleague, known only as SS Ngobeni, noticed two men loitering outside.

“My colleague went to see what they were doing there and I followed.”

Baloyi said one of the men took out a gun, made them lie down and started searching their pockets.

“They took our cellphones and demanded money. I told them I did not have any.”

Baloyi said the armed man forced her to a nearby veld while the other one stayed behind with Ngobeni, who was tied up.

“He ordered me to undress and started performing sexual acts on me.”

The two men fled the scene afterwards.

Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Lolo Mangena confirmed the crime.

“An armed robbery and rape docket was opened and investigations continue.”
