This was the third rape incident in the Kabokweni area after two girls, both aged 16, were also allegedly raped by 21 and 29-year-old suspects respectively. The teens were allegedly raped while they had been walking to the shop and salon respectively, when the suspects forced them into a room where they were allegedly raped. Both suspects were known to the victims, police said.
Both have since been arrested and are expected to appear in the Kabokweni Magistrate's Court on Tuesday on rape charges. Mpumalanga Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant-General Semakaleng Manamela has praised the Kanyamazane FCS Unit for their hard work in effecting the arrests. She condemned the raping of women.
