Police sources said the sexual assault incident took place near the child’s home last year, when she was sent to a neighbour’s house to ask for some money.
“The child was sent to this male neighbour’s house to go and ask for R40, as her mother needed to go to town. When the child got to the house, the suspect told the child he could only give her R20 and then proceeded to pull the child into his bedroom,” said Sergeant Ngcobo of Vryheid SAPS.
