A man appears in court for ‘raping’ four minors


By BAKANG MOKOTO

A 46-YEAR-OLD man is expected to appear at the Brits Magistrate’s Court on Monday for the alleged rape of four minors in Maboloka village, Letlhabile. North West police spokesperson, Capt Aafje Botma said last week Wednesday, a girl (17) informed her teacher at school that her grandfather allegedly raped her and this has been happening since she was in Grade 2.

Botma further said it was also determined that other two younger girls were also allegedly raped by the same suspect.

“Three of the victims, aged 9 and 17 who are sisters and their cousin (8) had been staying with family, including their grandfather. Furthermore, the mother of a girl (14), who is a neighbour, also alleged that her daughter was also raped by the suspect.

“Preliminary investigations were conducted and the suspect was immediately arrested and charged with four counts of rape. The acting North West Police Commissioner, Major General Dintletse Molefe condemned these incidents of Gender-Based Violence (GBV),” she said.

Molefe said the police will continue to work hard to ensure that perpetrator/s are brought to book.

  1. I am trying to make sense out of this story in terms of ages.
    Grandfather is 46
    First victim is 17 – how old is the mother.

    I am sad about what this man did, is wrong and he deserve to be locked for good.

    Let’s verify age
