Johannesburg - A 67-year-old man has been arrested for raping a 78-year-old woman in Tholeni village near Butterworth, police said on Wednesday.
The elderly woman woke on hearing the man break a window of her
home.
He tied her arms, then raped her, said cCaptain Jackson
Manatha.
Manatha said the woman had been alone at home as her children
were migrant workers.
"We advise that elderly people should not be left alone,
especially women, as they become crime victims."
Her attacker, who lives in the same village, was due to appear in court on Thursday, he said.
