A 31-year-old man has been arrested for the rape of his ex-girlfriend in Johannesburg, Gauteng police said on Monday.

Spokesman Warrant Officer Xoli Mbele said the man was arrested on Sunday morning after the woman opened a case of rape against him.

“The man took a cellphone off the woman by force on the street. He told her to come to his room to fetch it,” Mbele said.

“The woman followed her ex-boyfriend to his place because she wanted her cellphone back. He raped her and released her in the morning.”
