A 29-year-old East Rand woman was gang-raped twice in the early hours of New Year's Day N first by two knife-wielding attackers and again by five other armed men when she went to report the first attack.
East Rand police Superintendent Andy Pieke said the woman was walking with a male friend in the township of Dikatole around 12.15am on Wednesday when they were approached by the two men armed with knives.
The friend apparently fled, and the two men dragged the woman away from the road and raped her.
When they had left she walked to the local police station to report the matter, but on the way she was attacked again by five men armed with knives and firearms. All five raped her and fled.

Police are investigating, said Pieke.
In another incident around 12.45am on Wednesday near the Gonogeng Primary School in Kwa-Thema, a 21-year-old woman was walking home with eight men.
She told police that all eight men raped her, and supplied the names of two of them.
Police had opened a rape docket, said Pieke.
In an unrelated incident, a man was fatally shot in the Jabula Bar in Nigel on the East Rand on Tuesday.
Pieke said the man, about 36 years old, was shot in the chest by an unknown assailant about 7pm. The motive was not known, and the identity of the dead man had not been established.
