The victim hails from Lesotho and came to the country after allegedly getting a job as a shop attendant.

Police spokesperson, Martin Xuma, told OFM News the victim allegedly met with the foreign shop owner who then took her to a house in Botshabelo’s Section W and was left with a number of other males. She was allegedly raped there on various occasions. The victim is said to have confided in one of the shop’s customers, who then alerted the police. A case of rape was registered.

“The apprehended suspects appeared in court on Friday and will remain in custody. They are expected to appear again after their bail applications,” said Xuma.
