A judgement on a rape case against the former Naledi Local Municipality employee, Clifford Seiso Shoarane, was postponed to 8 and 9 May 2024, by the Vryburg Regional Court on Friday. Shoarane who was working as Assistant Manager in the security department at the municipality, raped a woman in Vryburg a few years ago.

It is alleged that, the woman in question was a well-known prostitute in Vryburg. According to information, the woman was hitchhiking to go to Huhudi Township when she met Shoarane. Shoarane promised the woman 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.
