A South African man has been left traumatized after he was drugged and raped ‘numerous’ times over three days by three female assailants. The 23-year-old man’s ordeal began when he hailed down a communal taxi in eastern Pretoria on Friday – which had three young women inside.
The ride took a dramatic turn when the taxi began to change direction and the man was ordered to sit in the front. He was then injected within an unknown substance and passed out.
South African Police Service Captain Colette Weilbach said:
‘He stated that he woke up in an unfamiliar room on a single bed ‘The female suspects then allegedly forced the man to drink an energy drink before taking turns molesting him numerous times a day. 'The South African Police Service take all sexual offences seriously regardless of gender. '[We assure] all victims of these types of crimes that we will carry out robust investigations to bring offenders to justice.' The victim was later dumped semi-naked in a field, where he managed to flag down a passing car. Rape and sexual violence against both men and women are at epidemic levels in South Africa. It is estimated that more than half-a-million rapes are committed annually in the country.
