Police officers allegedly ordered some men to strip and run naked through Sophiatown Zone 3 in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni, Zimbabwe on Friday.
"The kids were saying one guy has a big thing and another one a small one," Lucia Moshoeshoe (55) told Daily Sun.
"We couldn’t believe what was happening."
Angry Thobane Mtungwa (24) said he was with his friends when Rabie Ridge cops raided his place.
"They ordered us to lie down and we did what they wanted," Thobane said.
"They came looking for drugs but didn’t find anything. They told us to strip naked so they could see if we were hiding drugs in our bums."
"When they couldn’t find drugs they told us to lie on top of each other. One cop said that's how we rape women."
The police then allegedly told the men to run around completely naked.
Thobane and his five friends; Mduduzi Sithole (23), Tshepang Qwabe (21), Nkosana Mahlangu (29), Xolani Masekwana (24) and Lucky Khumalo (18), said the cops should have arrested them if they did something wrong.
Nkosana said: "The police humiliated us. People in the kasi no longer look at us in the same way. We tried to open a case of harassment but the same cops turned us away."
Gauteng police spokesman Captain Kabelo Marumo advised the men to visit the station commander at Rabie Ridge to lay a formal grievance so that an investigation can be done into their claims.
He added that the registration number provided by the men, is not part of the SAPS fleet.
