The Commander of Palapye Police Station, Superintendent Kenneth Masole, says the stranger had earlier threatened the 25 year-old man with a knife and demanded that he hand over his cellphone and money. When the man did not, the stranger allegedly forced himself on the man before fleeing.

The stranger allegedly took the precaution to use a condom. The victim is alleged to have subsequently called the police using his neighbour's cellphone, but the alleged strange rapist was nowhere to be found when the police arrived. The victim has been referred to social workers for counselling.

An astonished Superintendent Masole says he has never encountered anything like this in his whole career as a police officer. He says the matter will be treated as rape because it entails having carnal knowledge for sexual gratification.

The unusual rapist is also wanted in connection with two cases of house break-ins in which cellphones were stolen in the same area on the same night.

Masole is appealing to the public to assist with any information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect.
