After visiting a friend in the Makause informal settlement to collect her cellphone, recently, a woman went to a nearby tavern to buy beer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile she was in the tavern, the woman was allegedly approached by a 26-year-old man who asked her for some money,\u201d explained communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.<\/p>
She claimed she gave him some money and left the tavern.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn her way home the victim alleged that the same man she had met in the tavern grabbed her and dragged her to a nearby shack where he forced himself on her.<\/p>
\u201cHe then threatened to kill her if she told anyone,\u201d Maome said.<\/p>\n
She reported the crime to the Primrose police and officers traced the accused and he was arrested.<\/p>\n
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where his case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
