Two police sergeants have appeared in court after allegedly raping a woman in Fourways, Joburg police said on Friday.

“It is alleged that the victim was stopped by the duo who were on duty (last) Friday,” police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Tshisikhawe Ndou said.
“She was pulled out of the front seat to the back seat where the police officers allegedly took turns to rape her.”

The woman laid a charge against the police that Saturday.
The cops, aged 28 and 43, were arrested and subsequently appeared in court on Thursday.

Their case was postponed to December 12 at which time a formal application for bail will be heard. – Sapa
