Johannesburg - Two sisters were raped by an intruder after he broke into their house in Piet Retief, Mpumalanga police said on Monday.
Superintendent Abie Khoabane said the man broke a window of the house on Sunday, climbed inside and went into the girls' room.
The sisters, aged 8 and 16, were asleep at the time.
"The man woke the girls up and threatened them with a knife. He then raped both girls and left," said Khoabane.
"The girls reported the matter to their parents, who were asleep in the next room. They then contacted the police."
Khoabane said police were still searching for the man who was wearing black jeans, white shirt, a brown jacket and orange takkies.
