"When the man came inside he asked for her roommate and he replied that she was not around. The man took advantage and locked the door and pushed the victim on the bed.

"After he finished apologised and left R70 on top of the table and told her to go and buy a pizza.”

Mbele says investigations are underway.

The suspect will appear in the Johannesburg Magistrates Court soon.
