The sentencing on the rape case against the former Naledi Local Municipality employee, Clifford Seiso Shoarane was postponed until 20 June 2023. Shoarane was found guilty of rape by the Vryburg Regional Court few months ago and was expected to be sentenced on Tuesday.
However, that could not happen due to unforeseen circumstances. Shoarane, who was working as Assistant Manager in the security department at the municipality, raped a ‘prostitute’ in Vryburg a few years ago.
According to information, the ‘prostitute’ was hitchhiking to go to Huhudi Township when she met Shoarane. Shoarane promised to take her safely to Huhudi, but instead, he headed to a dilapidated building, where he raped her.
After the ordeal, Shoarane dumped the woman in the streets and left. The woman went to the Vryburg Police Station, where she opened a rape case against him.
