A Bulawayo family whose daughter was allegedly gang-raped on her way home after attending extra lessons in August last year is still waiting for justice to take its course.
According to the Chronicle, the victim (name supplied) was traumatised and attempted to take her own life twice, prompting her family to take her to psychologists for counselling.
The girl was allegedly raped by three men who were travelling in a Honda Fit vehicle plying the Mpopoma-Nkulumane route.
On the day she was attacked, the victim had just finished her lessons when she boarded the vehicle which had four other women onboard.
The girl’s mother said the matter was reported to the police last year, but no arrests have been made as no leads have been established. She said:
After dropping off the other passengers, the rapists asked my daughter where she was going before locking all the doors. The vehicle had tinted glass.
They drove the car to a secluded and bushy area in Tshabalala where they stopped and took turns to rape her.
