East London - An elderly woman and her granddaughter were raped by an unknown man in Gxara village, in Dutywa, said Eastern Cape police.
Captain Jackson Manatha said the 68-yea-old woman was asleep in her hut with her eight-year-old granddaughter when they were attacked about 01:00 on Saturday.
It is alleged the man had forced his way into the hut and demanded the elderly woman's pension money, Manatha said.
The robber was given the money, but did not leave. He stole meat and cooked it inside the hut, Manatha said.
"After cooking the meat, he then raped the elderly woman and her granddaughter," said Manatha.
No one has been arrested yet.
Police are investigating a case of robbery and two counts of rape.
