According to the South African Police Service, the incident took place at Winnie Mandela Zone 4 on 16 May. Journalist Everson Luhanga posted about the incident on his @EversonLuhanga X account. The women allegedly met the man at a tavern and invited him to their rented backyard room after drinking together.
They allegedly overpowered him, pushed him onto a bed and raped him before he managed to escape. Their landlord assisted him, and he opened a case at the police station. Two women in the Eastern Cape were also arrested in January after they allegedly lured an 11-year-old boy into their shack, where they allegedly raped him.
