A MAN who raped an 11-old-year girl in Trafalgar last Saturday has been arrested.
Margate police detectives worked long hours to arrest the 22-year-old man in the Mbhokobhoko Location near Margate.
Police spokesman Captain Gerald Mfeka said the mother of the victim was informed by her son that his sister had been raped while walking home.
“The boy alleged that a man dragged his sister into the sugar cane fields where he raped her,” Lieutenant-Colonel Wilfred Mkwindana, Detective Lieutenant Mbongeni Cele and Warrant Officer Trevor Moodley arrested the man last Sunday.
Khanyisani Mashoba appeared in the Ramsgate Court on Tuesday this week and the case was postponed to this Friday, February 28 for Legal Aid application. He remains in custody. Margate police are investigating.
