Four young black men have allegedly been raped by their bosses and forced at gunpoint to drink urine from the toilet bowls in their workplace, Sowetan newspaper reports.
The attack allegedly happened a week ago in Blackheath, Cape Town, at a carpentry factory near the Mfuleni police station.
The daily newspaper reports that police confirmed that they had arrested the owners of the AC Wendy's factory in Blackheath, and charged them with assault, indecent assault, crimen injuria and intimidation.
Comments posted by readers on the newspaper’s website linked the incident to the ongoing hate speech trial of ANCYL president Julius Malema. Marepa commented: “What the f**k is this. Why blame Julius with the struggle songs. Can u see what these people can do to blacks now?. It was first in the UFS and now here. You must learn to hate these people.”
This prompted SexyNobza to respond: “@Maripe Don't worry. You have me on that one. I haven't learnt to hate them, I’ve always hated them. Bloody pigs.”
According to the Sowetan report, the accused named the four complainants ‘Zuma’, ‘Blade’, ‘Vavi’ and ‘Malema’ and demanded to know why black people had murdered AWB leader Eugéne Terre'Blanche. The story had about 400 comments by midday.
Below are some of the comments:
