Johannesburg - A male security guard who was trying to get home quicker by taking a shorter route after knocking off at night ended up being robbed and raped by two men.

In another incident a 25-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly stabbing a colleague to death for an issue that had started at work.

Makhele said the two women had an argument on the farm where they both work on Tuesday.

Later that night, the suspect was allegedly still worked up about the argument and she armed herself with a knife and went to 24-year-old Mamoelo Kooko's place to confront her about what had happened earlier.
