MAKWANE – The Makwane police together with Phuthaditjhaba Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit, have arrested a 29-year-old man from Makwane Village in Qwaqwa after he raped a minor aged 13 at his place under false pretenses.
It’s alleged that on Monday, 14 August 2023, at about 17:30, the minor was visiting a neighbour at Haniville and playing games inside the house when the suspect walked into the house with a beer bottle, which he gave to the neighbour to drink.
The suspect suddenly requested that the minor accompany him to his house to get a drink. On their arrival at the house, he allegedly raped her and never gave her the drink as he promised. She came back and reported the incident to the owner of the house she was visiting and she took her to the police station to open a case.
The suspect was traced on the same day and arrested. He is expected to appear before the Makwane Magistrate Court on Wednesday, 16 August 2023 facing a charge of rape.
