Would-be rapist bitten

Johannesburg - A brave woman took a bite out of a would-be rapist where it hurts most - and hospitals have now been warned to be on the look-out for the man.

The 36-year-old woman from Mpumalanga earned cheers from People Opposing Woman Abuse (Powa), but the organisation warned that not everyone would get away with such a dramatic defence.

The Mahushu-Trust village woman told Mpumalanga police she had planned to cut his manhood off with her teeth so he would never try to force his evil ways on anybody ever again.

After she bit him, the man picked up his clothes and ran.

The attack took place last week.

The woman says that when she came out of the toilet, she saw two men standing between her and her house. They knew her husband was not home.

They pounced on her, grabbing her by the neck and one of them instantly tried to force himself on her.

She kept her cool and politely told the two that they need not use force as she was prepared to give them what they wanted.

She led them inside the house where one of the men started kissing her.

She kissed back and led both inside the bedroom. Inside the kissing continued.

The woman took off all her clothes and one man did the same.

She jumped on the bed. The suspect followed her and continued kissing her. The woman then took control and started kissing all over his body while the other guy was waiting for his turn.

"She then sunk her teeth into his penis," police spokesperson Jiyela Lucas Sibiya said.

The man screamed and his companion ran away.

Sibiya said clinics in the area had been warned to notify police of any patient with bitten private parts.

"We don't think this guy will go to traditional healers because the wounds will need to be treated at a clinic.

Powa executive director Delphine Serumaga told Daily Sun the woman's clever tactics should be applauded.

"I am glad that there is one less woman raped, but at the same time I do not want other women assuming that they can get away with what she did."
