3 March 2026- The North West MEC for Community Safety and Transport Management, Wessels Morweng met with senior police officers in Klerksdorp following the outcry from the rape victim. This comes after a woman (18) from Jakaranda Township, near Alabama in Klerksdorp, went on social media to raise her frustration on what she deemed as slow pace on investigation of her rape case.
Morweng said according to the police, the incident occurred on 26 January 2026, and the case was opened at Klerksdorp Police Station. He further said immediately after the meeting with the senior officers, he visited the family.
“During my visit, I assured the family that the police will work 24 hours to make sure that the suspect is arrested. I also requested the police to keep watch on the family so that the victim is not harmed or intimidated as the perpetrator is still on the streets,” added Morweng.
