Late at night on Friday 28 May Ayanda Ranuga, an Extension 7 resident, was physically assaulted by seven men. He saw a woman in her late twenties being chased through the streets by a group of men who all appeared to be in their thirties and forties.
 

The woman’s clothing was torn and it looked as if she had been harassed, so he suspected that the gang had been attempting to rape her. He chased after them which resulted in the group turning on him and beating him up until he passed out.

When he regained  consciousness, he was too badly injured to walk home or find help so he phoned a friend who sent the police to come to his aid.

Police officiers took Ranuga to Settlers Hospital where he was put on drip and had painkillers administered to him.

A week and a half later marks and scabs are still visible on his face and he says that he is still suffering from backpain.

Luckily no bones were broken and there does not appear to be any permanent damage. Ranuga warns the community that Friday and Saturday nights are a particularly dangerous time to be out in the streets, especially near taverns.

He says that criminals lurk around shebeens and taverns to choose their victims because they are less able to defend themselves if they have been drinking.

Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Sherolene Williams said they couldn’t get more details on the case and no suspects have been apprehended yet.
