A teenage girl endured a night of hell when she was raped several times by two men in a car in Happy Valley, Bloemfontein. She was raped while her friend was detained in the boot of the car.
The girl (19) and her friend, a metered taxi driver, were hijacked earlier in the evening by two armed men in Westdene.
Capt. Chaka Marope police spokesman, says the 38-year-old man and his friend went out Saturday night in his white Toyota Tazz taxi. They were in the deserted parking lot behind the old Checkout store when they were hijacked.
According to Marope the two armed men broke a car window and threatened the couple with knives.
They forced the man to drive to Happy Valley where they took turns raping the young girl.
The men held the couple to about 07:00, and raped the women repeatedly until they fell asleep.
With the rapists asleep, the man freed himself from the trunk, grabbed one of the villain’s knives and stabbed him in the shoulder.
He then ran to the police officers at Premier Ace Magashule’s house who rushed to his aid.
The robbers has stolen money and two cell phones and fled.
No one was arrested yet and charges of rape and hijacking are being investigated.
Marope also warned motorists not to park in remote and dark parking areas.
