For a father his child’s behaviour caused him to start worrying and questions were asked in a separate case as a woman was raped while hitch hiking.
A father from eMalahleni went to collect his daughter from her mother in Brits as it was the start of the school holidays.
When they got back home according to the father his child was acting very strange, he bought her dolls to play with and as she was playing with her dolls she kept on placing the dolls on top of each other.
Being very concerned about his daughter’s behaviour he asked her, where did she see that and she said she saw it from her mother.
So the father let her continue playing with the dolls, when she explained to him that they were making love.
Without hesitation the father took his daughter to a clinical psychologist and certain tests were done with her and the results were that she was suffering from trauma of being sexually assaulted. It’s alleged that her step brother has been sexually assaulting her.
On Monday, October 2 at 18:30 a 22-year-old woman alleged that she was hiking on the N4 off ramp when two unknown men came from the bushes and threatened her with a knife.
She then gave them her handbag, that’s when they sprayed pepper spray in her face, dragging her into the bushes.
Not able to see where they were taking her as her eyes were watering; she heard the rustling of the grass and knew she was in an open veldt.
They forced her to lie down, she recalls a suspect undressing her and then getting on top of her.
At that stage she knew she was being raped but did not know which suspect was raping her.
After the suspects had finished raping her they took all her belongings and left her.
The suspects were not arrested and the police are busy investigating the case.
