The community had all the support they would have desired from the local police, Even the Station Commander for Diepkloof joined in the awareness walk that temporarily saw some streets in Diepkloof coloured black and slightly purple by the matching apparels that most of the marchers all wore.
Richard Rangwanase, the Chairperson for Diepkloof SAPS joined in the march as well with his team, he said, “The awareness walk was a success and everyone in Diepkloof Should be aware of these rape incidents and these sexual predators.
“We thank everyone who came to stand against these crimes against our women, we hope the warning would be heard.”
However, any person who may have any enlightening information about the rape or the rapist can anonymously call 10 111 or visit the station.
