JOHANNESBURG – South African police have arrested five border soldiers accused of robbing Zimbabweans and are probing reports women were raped and forced to swim back home in the crocodile infested Limpopo River.
Police spokesman, Fanie Molapo, said yesterday the arrests followed a three-month investigation sparked by a series of accusations of abuse by soldiers at border posts against people trying to cross illegally into South Africa from Zimbabwe. He added that investigations into the rape allegations were being hampered because victims were difficult to track down once they returned home.- Nampa-ReutersHe added that investigations into the rape allegations were being hampered because victims were difficult to track down once they returned home.- Nampa-Reuters
