The suspect has appeared in the Tembisa Magistrate's Court where he's been denied bail.
Mbalula says: "Khombela's actions are shameful and disgusting. No one should act like that towards women or any person. We will continue to act harshly against those who abuse and dehumanise women and children who are the most vulnerable in our society. I condemn these callous actions in the strongest terms and believe the law will act as swiftly on Khombela."
