A Northern Cape school employee accused of raping a schoolboy appeared in the Warrenton Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, police said.

Police spokesperson Olebogeng Tawana said he allegedly raped a 7-year-old boy in the primary school toilets last week.

The case was postponed to 2 September for a formal bail application.

He was arrested last Thursday after the boy told his mother he had been raped.
