A primary school teacher (47) in Leeudoring, near Wolmaranstad, was arrested for allegedly raping siblings aged 12 and 14. This comes after the principal and mother of the two learners registered cases at the Wolmarastad Police Station on Tuesday.
According to the North West police spokesperson, Lieutenant Col Amanda Funani, the incident took place in Leeudoringstad, near Wolmaranstad. Funani said the suspect allegedly would ask the two minors to help him carry books or go and fetch something at his office, where he performed sexual acts.
āHe was arrested at the school on 16 May 2024. The teacher was remanded in custody until 21 May 2024, for formal bail application,ā she said.
Meanwhile, the North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, condemned the incident and said it is sad that the victims were allegedly abused by someone, who was supposed to protect them.
