A group of armed men stormed a music video shoot and raped eight models in Johannesburg, South Africa. The horrific incident took place in a small town called Krugersdorp, situated in the West of Johannesburg.

Out of the 20 suspects, three have been arrested by the police so far.

The group attacked the models as they were setting up the set for the shoot.

According to the police, the women were aged between 18 and 35. One of the survivors was raped by 10 men and another by eight.

“It appears that they (the suspects) are foreign nationals,” said the police, adding that they are illegal miners in South Africa.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa had ordered the police minister to make sure the perpetrators were “apprehended and dealt with”.
