CAPE TOWN
- The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) has launched an
investigation following an alleged rape of a 20-year-old woman at the Saldanha
Bay police barracks.
The
incident was reported to police earlier this month and the IPID has since taken
over the investigation.
The IPID
says it's alleged the woman was raped by three civilians during early November.
She
reported the incident to police a day later.
The
victim was then approached by a policeman who took her to the Saldanha police
barracks where he allegedly raped her.
IPID's
Moses Dlamini says the circumstances around the incident are not yet clear at
this stage and no arrests have been made.
DNA
samples have since been taken from the complainant.
The South
African Policing Union (Sapu) says it's disturbed by the alleged rape.
SAPU's Joseph Manuel says the law must take its course as incidents of this nature cannot be tolerated.
“This sort of conduct is totally unacceptable.”
