Victim living in fear after after bumping into alleged rapist who's still free

The family of a young woman raped at gunpoint by two men are seeking answers from the police after the victim bumped into her alleged rapists who are still free.

She told The Star that on the day of the rape, she was walking to the store to buy food with her friend around 9pm. She was a Grade 12 learner at the time. “They told us not to say anything and that they had been watching us the whole day and then they placed me on top of my friend and both men proceeded to rape me,” she said.

“On Wednesday, September 25, he appeared in Mdutjana Magistrate’s Court. The case was not placed on the roll and the suspect was released due to lack of evidence,” he said. “He said things that scared me a lot and I ended up leaving where I stayed to live with my sister somewhere else.”
