He was often threatened about being raped. But he never thought it could actually happen. The man said he’s always mistaken for being gay, but he is not.
He said that once people get to know him, they see that he’s straight, but some make fun of him and call him names.
“I’ve been threatened a lot of times, but I never thought this would really happen to me. I’m traumatized,” he said.
The 36-year-old man from Duduza, Nigel in Gauteng told the publication he was raped on Wednesday, 11 August on his way back from night shift. “Three guys followed me and grabbed me. They told me they would ‘fix’ me,” he said.
He said at that moment, he realized that the men knew him and had planned this.
“Their faces were covered, so I didn’t recognize any of them, not even their voices. They took turns raping me and none of them used protection,” he said.
“I’ve been through tough times in my life, but I don’t think I’ll ever get through this. I’m broken,” he said.
The man’s girlfriend said: “He hasn’t been himself since he was raped.
“He’s always in the bedroom. He hardly eats or talks to anyone.
“I hope those rapists are found and face the full might of the law,” she said.
Gauteng police spokesman Captain Kay Makhubele said a rape case was opened and that cops won’t rest until the perpetrators were behind bars.
Joanna Mbonani of Own Your Voice said if police put more effort in arresting these perpetrators, the LGBTIQ community would have less horror stories.
She said most of the people who’ve suffered from correctional rape haven’t found justice.
“Some of these people are known in the community, especially because some of them brag about this despicable behaviour,” she said.
Joanna also advised the man to go for therapy.
“While he’s waiting for justice to be served, he needs help. If he doesn’t, this will be harder,” she said.
