"Khumalo threatened to assault them with the log and the man fled from the house half dressed leaving his girlfriend behind.
"Khumalo raped his ex-girlfriend three times during the night and spent the night in the house and threatened to assault her if she screamed or fled from the house. On the following morning Khumalo took the man's clothes which he had left behind as he fled and burnt them including $12 which was in his trousers pocket," she said.
Miss Mahachi said the matter was reported to the police resulting in Khumalo's arrest. She said the damaged clothes were valued at $61.
