There is a graphic cellphone video that explicitly shows them taking turns on the girl, Eyewitness News reports.

During the rape, the boys joke around and encourage each other.

The girl can be seen and heard pleading with them to stop while her attackers discuss whether or not she is crying.

They then offer her R2 for her silence.

Police's Kay Makhubela officers are still hunting for the girl.

He said it was unclear if she is mentally disabled or if she was drugged.

Police believe the teenager was kept as a sex slave since she disappeared from Dobsonville three weeks ago.

Sapa reports the girl went missing on March 25. Last week, the cellphone video emerged of her being raped.

Warrant Officer Makhubele said the seven were arrested in Dobsonville on Tuesday.

“Somebody gave the information and it was followed and the boys were identified through that video.” 

Police were still trying to find the location where the assault took place as only open veld can be seen in the video.

The young men and two minors are expected to appear in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.

These are the kind of kids Patricia De Lille and the Human Rights commission were shedding ears over a few years ago - being held in prison with adults and not having the comforts of home. I hope they are put away for a long time.

Hey girls...
...could these "pearls of wisdom" have something in relation with these pastime activities??:

"""I was taught that leaving a woman in that state (sexually aroused) was the worst thing a (Zu.lu) man can do. She could even have you arrested and charged with r.ape."""

I'm sooo disgusted at this act. As parents we need to teach our kids morals, respect of another human being or living thing in that matter and more morals. These kids acted like wild animals.. our society is really phucked. ARe we gonna sit and blame this on Apartheid as well? come on black sisters and brothers we need to do something. Commiting sexual acts and violant acts in front of our kids lead to this. This is heartbreaking really. I hope the gal gets proper treatment and healing and the boys be locked up for good.
