DigibAc Posted May 4, 2007 JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A gang stripped a South African man before supergluing him to an exercise bicycle while they ransacked his house, according to a report Thursday. SAPA news agency said the attackers, dressed in suits, hijacked a man in his 50s and forced him at gunpoint to take them to his home in Johannesburg. "The victim was then forced to strip, after which he was superglued to the seat of an exercise bicycle, his hands were superglued, as were his feet and then his mouth was superglued shut," SAPA quoted Mark Stokoe, a spokesman for emergency services Netcare 911, as saying. The man was rescued about three hours later when his partner arrived home, SAPA said. South Africa is battling one of the world's highest crime rates which has prompted concerns that violence might mar the 2010 soccer World Cup, which the country is due to host. A police spokesman could not immediately comment on the report. No one at Netcare 911 could be reached. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malika Posted May 4, 2007 Oooooooooouch!! those animals,how humiliating that must have been.. I can never forget a night we were ambushed in our home with thieves wedging mashetees,knives...How we survived that night, a house ful of women only, Only god knows!! subhanallah! While Mbeki is busy policing africa, he should be taking care of his own home affairs, things are rapidly deteriorating.Most of my collegues are white and Black South African, leaving SA in droves because the country is getting unstable.
