A 41-year-old woman has been applauded for her "bravery" after she overpowered and caught her alleged rapist.
It is alleged that he raped her in Buntingville, Ngqeleni, and threatened to kill her.
"The suspect was apprehended and later handed over to police," said Koena.
The 21-year-old man appeared in the Ngqeleni Magistrate's Court on Monday for rape.
District commissioner, Major General David Kanuka, applauded the woman's bravery and said the man's release on bail should be opposed.
