According to the complainant, he was approached by a man who offered him a drink. The boy lost consciousness after he consumed the liquid. He woke up in a bush while the accused was sodomising him. The victim retrieved his pocket knife and repeatedly stabbed his attacker before he fled to the Tongaat SAPS to report the matter.
