The victim encountered the three women while sharing a 15-seater taxi with them. However, the taxi started going in the wrong direction, and he was made to sit in the front. He was then injected with some unknown substance, which made him pass out. When he woke up, he was in a room with a single bed. The victim was forced to drink energy drinks, while he was being raped.
The incident traumatized and exhausted the man, and he was later left to die on the fields. The man could not even keep track of the number of times he was raped. He was not allowed to sleep and could only consume energy drinks.
Captain Wellback said, “The South African Police Service takes all sexual offences seriously, regardless of gender. [We assure] all victims of these types of crimes that we will carry out robust investigations to bring offenders to justice.”
It is saddening to see the lives of human beings shattered because of rape. Whether the rapist is a male or female, what has been done shall always remain unjust.
