Cape Town – A former police officer reportedly appeared in court on Wednesday in connection with the Krugersdorp gang rape case that shook the nation.
In July, gunmen forced their way into a music video shoot and raped eight young women from the cast in Krugersdorp’s West Village.
The gang attacked the crew and cast while they were offloading equipment and preparing the set.
Even the men were stripped naked and robbed of their personal belongings.
