The woman told the police she was raped by a group of four men during the early hours of Saturday, May 20.
According to the police report, the woman was at a tavern with her friends when one of the alleged rapists approached her and demanded to speak to her.
The woman refused, but the man grabbed her and took her to a nearby shack, where three more men allegedly joined in and took turns raping her.
Police have since arrested one of the suspects. He is expected to appear in court soon.
The police added that more arrests were imminent.
Anyone with information about the attack should call the Boksburg SAPS crime office on 011 841 6843.
This incident is just one among a number of vicious attacks on women that have sparked a public outcry.
The latest attack comes almost eight months after the disappearance of a teenage girl, who was reportedly abducted, gang raped and apparently killed before her body was allegedly dumped down an abandoned mine shaft, in the informal settlement.
According to Boksburg SAPS spokesperson Sgt Cebisa Maseko, it is believed that the teenage girl was abducted by a group of BaSotho men, during the early hours of Sunday, September 25.
The girl was asleep in her shack when the men reportedly arrived in the early hours and smashed the windows to get into the shack, in Angelo informal settlement.
Following a struggle, the suspects then dragged the defenceless girl to an unknown location, where they took turns raping her.
Several people were arrested in connection with the incident, but the girl’s body has not yet been found.
- Rape in 2016
In May 2016, Boksburg police also launched a manhunt after a woman was reportedly gang raped by a group of men in Angelo informal settlement.
The woman was reportedly raped in an open veld in the informal settlement, on Sunday, May 8.
She told the police that she was walking along one of the streets in the settlement when a group of BaSotho men allegedly dragged her off the street to the open veld.
The victim said one of the rapists later dragged her into his shack where he continued to rape her. -@FanieFLK
