BOIPATONG. – The woman was on her way home from work when the incident happened.

Police spokesperson Sergeant Thembeka Maxambea says police are on the hunt for an unknown African male following the incident.

“The victim was walking on Nobel Boulevard and about to cross K53 when she was approached by an unknown man who pointed a gun at her.

“The suspect directed the victim to a dumping site where he seized her cell phone and cash amounting to R400 and subsequently tied her up and raped her.”

The victim was able to untie herself and seek for help after the man left her there.

Maxambela has since advised residents of Boipatong and surrounding areas to be vigilant when using the route, urging them to rather travel in groups.
