One victim came from a staff party with her colleagues when one colleague took advantage of her while they were sleeping, the second victim was raped by a shebeen owner and the third one came from a shebeen and was raped by her boyfriend’s friend while they were all sleeping together," a statement from police said.
"The fourth victim was allegedly raped in Browns Farm by the suspect while she was waiting for her relative, the suspect had pretended to assist the victim to look for her brother but he took her to his residence and allegedly raped her."
Two of the suspects, aged 25 and 31, appeared in the Wynberg Magistrate's Court on Friday, while the other two, aged 25 and 34, were expected to make a court appearance once charged.
