Kwaggafontein - A man has been accused of raping a teenager after confusing her with her twin sister.
The 17-year-old girl from Kwaggafontein D, north of Witbank, in Mpumalanga told police she and her identical twin bumped into the man about 16:00 on Sunday.
She said her sister and the man used to be a couple, but broke up.
"The suspect apparently confused the victim with his ex-girlfriend and accused her of ignoring him," said captain Klaas Maloka of Highveld police.
When the teenager tried to explain that he'd confused her with her sister, he refused to believe it and dragged her to his house.
She was raped when she refused to get into bed with him and was released only the following morning.
She reported him to police, who had not made any arrests by Tuesday afternoon.
