Duduza – A 37-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly raping his 16-year-old neighbour.
It is alleged the girl was visiting the man’s home last Wednesday evening when he sent his son to buy beer at a local tavern, leaving him and the teenager alone together.
Duduza police spokesperson Sgt Harry Manaka explained the man used the opportunity to drag the victim into one of the bedrooms and raped her.
