A 23-year-old chef accused of raping a university student was remanded in custody after appearing in the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court.
He was arrested after he allegedly raped the 21-year-old student who was also his colleague, at his home recently.
According to the Parkview Police report, the incident allegedly occurred at the chef’s home and he was swiftly arrested when the victim reported the incident on 12 February.
