The community of Belhar was in uproar on Sunday after a woman was allegedly raped by three men after booking an e-hailing driver at a house in Belhar.
It is believed that the woman was allegedly raped at a house on the corner of Tyne and St Vincent Street in an area also known as Self Help.
Multiple videos surfaced online and were shared by crime groups showing the community and the hele police vans outside the house at the mentioned street.
In one video, a man taking the video shows community members outside the house as SAPS are inside searching, the man then pans over to the white Hyundai car which belongs to the alleged rapist and shows the passenger window smashed in.
Another video shows members of SAPS walking out of the house with a man whose hands are cuffed behind his back.
SAPS are heard telling members of the community: "Hey, moenie entice nie.” While a woman’s voice can be heard saying: “When you come here again, in your p**s, you stuk n**i.”
Belhar Community Policing Forum (CPF) Public Relations Officer Shireen Nordien said that the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences units (FCS) was dealing with the matter.
She explains: “We know that FCS was dealing with both the victim and the alleged suspect [Sunday]. We as the Belhar CPF condemn in the strongest terms any and all violence against women and children and we trust that the matter will be justly and compassionately dealt with.”
When the Daily Voice reached out to SAPS in regard to the above allegations a case had not been registered.
Police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Malcolm Pojie said that: "Police have heard about the allegations but cannot confirm at this stage whether it is true, as no criminal cases with regards to the alleged incident was reported to police by the alleged victim."
