A GIRL of Riverside in Kitwe yesterday narrated in a Kitwe Magistrate`s Court how six members of the Tokota boys took turns in raping her until she passed out.
The girl said the six tore her clothes and forced themselves on her, one after the other, in an unfinished building in Ndeke’s Changa Changa area.
This is in a matter involving Richard Siame 21 of Chamboli, Teddy Chilufya 20 of Wusakile and a 14-year-old boy of Wusakile township who are charged with rape.

She told the court that she and her friends arrived at the night club in two cars, an Altezza and Toyota Allion.
She said upon arrival at the night club, her friends entered the club but she remained outside to answer a phone call.
It was at this point that she was confronted by a group of men wearing T-shirts printed “Team Tokota Pay or Die.”
One of them then asked if she was looking for a taxi but she refused after which he splashed a liquid in her face.
