She said the incident had left the community shocked. \u201cWe were patrolling around 04:00 when we heard loud music in the area. We went to ask the people who were playing the music to switch it off and go to sleep,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ngcasani they later discovered that they went to another shebeen (opposite Ezimfeneni). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAccording to the information we received from the victim, one of the men drinking with her and some companions pulled her aside into a dark place and raped her. \u201cIt seems the victim was raped, but managed to escape and went home and told her family about the ordeal. Later, when she saw the perpetrator in one of the shacks. She told her family and they caught him, then called the officers and they arrested him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ngcasani urged the community to work with the patrollers to curb crime. She said their biggest challenge was the shebeen owners who did not close at night. \u201cCrime is a problem here because we are not united as a community. There are some shebeen owners who don\u2019t cooperate with the law. They operate illegally. Some of them don\u2019t open during the day, only operating at night.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ngcasani added some of the criminals are from neighbouring areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harare Police Station commander Col Thembelani Mahlatshana confirmed a case of rape was opened, but did not divulge a lot of details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of a neighbourhood watch in
