In the past few days, cases near Johannesburg, the capital of Hou Deng Province, have attracted widespread attention from South Africa. According to the South African media reports, at the end of July, a film crew was attacked by a group of mobs when shooting a short music film near a local abandoned mine, and eight female models were gang raped.

It is reported that the thugs dragged eight models "one by one into the bushes one by one", and one of the women was even sexually assaulted 10 times, and the entire invasion process lasted for 4 hours.

In addition, this group of thugs also snatched the cash, mobile phones, watches and cameras of the crew, with a total value of about 1.5 million rand (about 610,000 yuan). After the incident, South African President Rama Puta delivered a national speech, scolding the suspect, and called on the community to cooperate with the police to make the thugs rope.

On August 1, local time, more than 80 suspects appeared in court. Police said that most of the suspects were foreign citizens and were illegal miners entering South Africa. It is understood that near the place where the incident is the place where illegal miners often come out, it is also one of the South African Gold Mine Mining Center.

This case aroused indignation from all walks of life. According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on the 10th, the local people also took off the clothes of a group of men suspected of illegal miners, beat them, and swim on the streets, and finally handed them to the police.

It is reported that South Africa is still one of the countries with the highest incidence of rape and sexual assault in the world. Regarding the gang rape and robbery in South Africa, the BBC reported that due to the serious nature of the case, all suspects were expected to be tried separately.
