A BADLY bleeding wannabe rapist is either dying alone in the bush or is in hiding.
This is after he tried to rape two women collecting firewood in the bush outside Maphophe Village in Malamulele, Limpopo.
But the attacker had to run for his life when one of the brave women grabbed him tightly by his 4-5 and her friend hacked at him with a panga!
The incident happened on Monday morning.
The women told Daily Sun the man, armed with a panga, suddenly appeared from behind the bushes.
Vongani Nghonyama (33) said: “He told us to take off our underwear so that he could rape us, and threatened to cut us into pieces if we didn’t. We were paralysed with fear and did as he commanded.”
The man then ordered both of them to lie down.
“But before he could rape me, I grabbed his 4-5 and fought him with my other hand. He took a panga and slashed my face and leg,” said Vongani.
She added: “My friend ran away and I thought I was facing death alone. I held onto his 4-5, pulling it as hard as I could. My friend returned with the panga we brought to cut the wood and attacked him, slashing his back until he let go of me. Then he ran away.”
Vongani’s friend, Mkateko Maluleke (27), said one of her family members called the police after they phoned to tell her.
The police came and an ambulance arrived to take them to hospital.
Limpopo police spokesman Moatshe Ngoepe said they were investigating cases of assault and attempted rape.
“We are still looking for the suspect,” said Ngoepe.
