Two men have been arrested for allegedly robbing and raping three women.
The women were allegedly robbed and eventually raped at Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape.
The unfortunate incident happened on Friday evening.
According to police spokesperson, Capt Bradley Rawlinson, the six women were heading towards their home from work in Wolwas.
On their way home, they were attacked by two men who threatened them by brandishing their knives.
The two men forcefully collected their belongings and subsequently raped three of the six women.
Rawlinson said the three women allegedly raped were aged 25, 30 and 31.

This is ranging from the economical aspects to that of security.
He has also promised to ensure that justice is served for those involved in gender-based-violence.
