According to Constable Zanele Khomo, the crime related to an incident where a 22-year-old victim was raped in a taxi on the evening of Monday, 1 August. “It is alleged the victim was alone inside a white Quantum taxi near Field Street with the taxi conductor and driver who drove the taxi towards Victor Lane where they parked the vehicle. The driver jumped out of his seat and came to where the victim was seated and the driver then raped the victim while the conductor took her bag containing the cell phone and cash and bank cards,” she explained.
