They were united in opposing bail for the perpetrators.

The men were arrested after the young victim identified them as her abusers who locked her in a rental cottage and continuously raped her through the night.

The victim is currently under counselling and is staying at a place of safety in Ngwelezana.

The two alleged perpetrators will remain in police custody until their next bail appearance, on Thursday, 6 May.
