Pretoria Regional Court October 27, 2014 – Hatecrime against ‘refined English lady of 92 years old’ in night-long rape ordeal by two black male thugs.
Testimony by frail victim via closed-circuit camera so that she did not have to face her abusers.
William Mulaudzi ( 32 ) and Wilbur Xolani Ngudle ( 33 ) pleaded not guilty to four counts of rape and housebreaking with intent to steal and theft .
“When the two finally left in the early hours of morning, she did not look what they did. “I just tried to cover my breasts.”
The 92 year-old typical fine “English Lady” is not sure, but she thinks the man who raped her four times, was perhaps one of those to whom she regularly gave food to.
The smaller of the two also choked her.
While he was raping her, the accomplice stole jewellery and groceries.
She rummaged in her purse for her glasses and fiddled groaning when she swore to tell the truth . When she began testifying, she firmly told what happened that night of October 18, 2013.
She stays alone in Groenkloof, Pretoria.
“I was in bed, it was about 22:00. I heard a noise on the ceiling , like a cut. Two men came through the ceiling, one jumped on my bed and the other turned the lights on and started opening cupboards,” she said.
The smaller one started raping her. He also choked her.
At one point, the other attacker returned. “I asked him to tell his friend to stop raping and strangling me, but he did not listen. He only looked for the keys to the cupboards,” she said.
The rapist searched the house with his accomplice and raped her again – four times.
She could not move when the attackers eventually left.
“That man only left my bed when the sun came up,” she said. She finally made it to the phone in the hallway , and she phoned the Sunnyside police.
“They said they were sending someone. I later realized no one was going to come. I struggled back to the bedroom for different numbers. I phoned my gardener a few houses away. He has worked 30 years for me. He is my son, who stays in Waterkloof,” she said.
