Lieutenant Colonel Nqobile Gwala, a provincial police spokesperson, said that a 22-year-old female was sexually assaulted by two men while she was in a taxi on her way to Mayville on July 15 this year, at 20:00.
“The victim said that when she reached Mayville, the driver and his assistant refused to drop her off and threatened her with a firearm and knife. They then drove to the Cato Manor sports ground where they gang-raped and robbed her of her money and cellphone,” Gwala said.
