The suspect will appear before the Ritavi Magistrate Court on Tuesday on a charge of rape. Police investigations are continuing.

The Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Nneke Ledwaba has condemned acts of criminality perpetrated against children which are still taking place in some parts of the province.

“Child safety must be everybody’s business within our society especially people in the calibre of teachers who are expected to play a secondary parental role to any child,” said General Ledwaba.
