Pampierstad- Northern Cape police are investigating a case of rape after a nine year-old girl was raped while on her way to school on Monday.

Pampierstad Police Station spokesperson Thuso Setumiso said a 9 year-old girl was allegedly raped by two unknown men.

“It is alleged a girl who her name cannot be revealed because she is a minor, was raped on Monday morning while on her way to school. According to the information, a girl was lured into an abandoned shack by an unknown man and offered a cool drink and polony” Setumiso said.

A nine year-old girl and her friend were allegedly raped by Bangladesh nationals who are currently behind bars back in July 2014.

Police said a girl was walking to school with her friend when the gruesome incident took place. The matter created some unrest in the area as residents of Pampierstad marched to local police station and demanded that those perpetrators be hunted down and put behind bars.

Setumiso said they have not arrested anyone yet and urged the community members to help the police with any information that could lead to any arrest.
