South African police have arrested 11 Tanzanians who allegedly gang-raped a 22 year-old Zimbabwean woman while she was coming from work recently.
Zimbabwe Consul-General in South Africa Mr Batiraishe Mukonoweshuro yesterday confirmed that the suspects appeared in court on May 16 and will appear again on June 20 at the Johannesburg Regional Court. The Zimbabwean woman is said to have been attacked by the 11 Tanzanians between midnight and the early hours of the day as she headed home. The Chronicle states that South Africa has one of the highest rape statistics in Africa with reports suggesting that a woman or girl child is sexually violated every 26 seconds.
