We have been asked to report to the police headquarters in the province the case of a same-sex woman from Mpangeni, as they have finally complained to the King of a certain tribe in this area, who is said to have tried to rape her in December last year.
In this incident that happened in late December, the king (who will not be revealed because the court has not yet asked if he admits or denies the crime) tried to rape a 40-year-old woman in one of the sleeping places in Mpangeni.
According to the victim’s relative, who will not be disclosed, the incident happened after the suspect called the victim on the phone and said he was asking to see him, and they talked.
“He was not that careful because he was the local king, he agreed to come to where he worked. They ended up going home together as the fighter already had plans to go home,” said the source.
However, he points out that on the way, the king drove the car to the sleeping place, and when he arrived he asked them to go inside, so that they could have a good conversation while his guards were not around.
“Once inside, the suspect immediately asked to sleep with the victim, who refused and finished. The suspect then went to the toilet and came back naked, stroking his privates,” said the source.
He revealed that although the robber escaped, he heard a call from a woman, who was asking the suspect where he was because he had arranged for the girls he wanted.
He revealed that the victim reported the incident to his family, and he also filed a case with the police, and then there was silence, and the king was arrested.
“Although he was finally arrested on Wednesday, it helped that a few days later, he called the police headquarters and reported that he was not getting justice in the case he filed against the king in December last year,” said the source.
The source said that they are not sure what led the king to want to rape the wrestler because he knew that he was in love with people of the same sex as him.
“We don’t know if it intended to discipline him because of the way he lives, or if he was holding a grudge because he once criticized him on social media.”
The king who is the suspect here is always accused of incidents that leave people in awe.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson, Colonel Robert Netshiunda, said the investigators of the Mpangeni Family Violence Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS) They arrested the suspect (28) for trying to rape a wrestler on December 23, 2025.
He said the suspect appeared at the Mpangeni Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday. It is a country learned that the case has been adjourned to next Wednesday so that the accused, who is safe, can apply for bail.
