Police say they will prioritise investigations relating to the Krugersdorp mass rapes. Minister Bheki Cele met with families of the eight rape survivors at the Alexandra Police Station on Sunday.
The eight women were part of a production crew that was filming a music video
Gun wielding attackers gang-raped the eight women and robbed them of their belongings at West Village in the vicinity of a disused mine. One of them was allegedly raped by ten men.During the meeting it was revealed that some of the survivors were as young as 19-years old, and Minister Cele assured them and their families that police would leave no stone un-turned in the quest to find their attackers.
Cele adds that some of the women who suffered the rape are quiet young and to leave the questioning and investigation to the police. “We need the real perpetrators among those people. The evidence that has been collected, biological evidence as I have said, will have to help us to link the real perpetrators. Some as collected are foreign nationals yes. But we need these perpetrators,” he says.
