On December 6, at about 8pm, the complainant was walking along Rietfontein Road towards the intersection of Rondebult Road.
“At the intersection two men approached her,” said Coetzer.
“They grabbed her by her clothes and dragged her into a dark corner. They demanded her cellphone and cash, but she did not have any with her.
“The taller of the two men raped her and they both ran away after a while.”
The complainant went to a garage close by to phone an ambulance and the employees phoned the Boksburg North SAPS sector vehicle for the complainant.
Following further investigations, the SAPS managed to trace the suspects and they were arrested.
