By OBAKENG MAJE
4 June 2025- A rape case against a well-known man (45) in Taung, has been rolled over to Thursday. This comes after the unavailability of a court official who is responsible for dockets screening.
The North West police spokesperson, Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said the complainant was attending a Taung Annual Gospel Music Festival at PH Moeketsi High School a few months ago and she went outside the venue to look for her friend. Mokgwabone said the suspect allegedly grabbed and pulled her to the nearby bushes, where he allegedly assaulted and raped her.
“Although the complainant works at the place in question, she was not on duty on the day of the incident, but attending a gospel festival. The suspect was set to appear at Taung Magistrate’s Court today.
“He was arrested on Tuesday and charged with rape,” he said.
