The fundraising target for Radius Masukume of Cape Town, who saved a woman who was being raped by two men, is closing in on its target of R30 000.

By late Friday evening, the page started by Keep the Energy, a Facebook group that focuses on gender-based violence, had raised just over R20 000.

Masukume, 49, who works for himself in construction, had been walking to a work site last Thursday when he heard the woman screaming on a field just off Gie Road in Table View.

He previously told News24 he did not think twice before intervening.

"I jumped over the fence to an open space and saw two guys raping her," Masukume said.

One of the men kicked him to the ground after he caught their attention and stabbed him in his face and head four times.

Over R45 000 raised for man who saved Table View woman from being raped

Cape Town – A Table View man who came to the rescue of a woman who was being raped has been hailed a hero.
Although Radius Masukume, 49, had his teeth knocked out and is left with knife wounds on his face, he has no regrets. Masukume said he was walking to work across a field off Gie Road at about 5pm on October 10 when he heard a woman crying out.


“At first I didn’t see where she was When I reached her one guy was already raping her. Another was standing beside them watching.


"As I approached, a third guy I was not aware of stabbed me from behind. I fell to the ground and fought him. He stabbed me in my face and head four times.” Masukume said the suspects then fled towards Dunoon.


“I ran to the road to ask for assistance, then luckily a police van stopped.

Should take your own advice :coffee:

Should be obvious...

How much did the victim get?

He prevented this woman from not only further rape, but these bastards regularly killed the women they rape. And he seems to have gotten quite a few injuries form this, he deserves this money. Many others would've just turned a blind eye, he risked his life for a stranger.
