Captain Johannes Ramphora of the Springs police says the victim was alone in the shack when she heard a knock on the door during the early hours on Sunday.
He says the victim opened the door thinking that it was her landlord but instead an unknown man armed with a screwdriver stormed inside.
“The man demanded cash and a cell phone before instructing the victim to take off her clothes and raping her,” says Ramphora.
No arrest has been made and the police are still looking for the suspect.
If anyone has information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect, they should contact the Springs police on 011 365 5700/19/20.
