"As more details of the gang rape of eight women come to light, minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane wishes to express her shock and anger at the action perpetrated by these men on the eve of Women's Month,” says the department’s spokesperson, Shalen Gajadhar.
“We are still fighting the scourge of gender-based violence as a country, and to hear such an abhorrent act took place is unbelievable. We plead with SAPS to continue the search for perpetrators and bring those responsible to book.”
