A traditional healer was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly raping a 31-year-old woman in Alexandra, Johannesburg police said.

 

Constable Neria Malefetse said the woman consulted the 50-year-old man for an undisclosed ailment on 24 November.

 

"She did not know that part of her treatment would include having sex with the man. She was told afterwards that the sangoma would have to insert the medication by sleeping with her."

 

A case of rape was opened on Tuesday and the man was arrested.

 

He would appear in the Alexandra Magistrate's Court soon.
