Manenberg police are hunting a gun-toting gangster who raped a man in a public park just over a week ago.

The family of the 22-year-old victim says he has been left traumatized after he was forced to drop his pants and the gangster sodomised him in the park which is a known drug dealing spot for the Fancy Boys.

According to a police source, the suspect known as Biggy, is a member of the Fancy Boys in Manenberg.

The scared victim says it took him a week to spill the beans.

“It was on 1 September, I was walking home when he approached me,” said the man.

“I went out the Saturday night and we were partying with some girls and he wanted to rob us. When I walked home at about 3am he got me in the park and started to skut me uit (check what I had on me).”

The victim said the gangster was carrying a “big gun” and after finding no valuables on him, he forced him into a corner.

“He told me to go to the corner and made me pull my pants down and then he did it,” the teary-eyed victim said.

The man went home in pain and said he kept quiet as he was embarrassed about the ordeal.

His 43-year-old uncle said he noticed a change in his nephew’s behaviour.

“I look after him because his mother died and I knew something was wrong. When he told me I took him to the police station.”

Police spokesperson, Constable Sandiswa Belinda Saula, said no arrests have been made yet.

Anyone with information is asked to call 082 559 4621.
