A Galeshewe man (25) is set to appear before the Galeshewe Magistrate’s Court, subsequent to the allegation of raping an 11 year old boy.

On Saturday, 23 November 2019, the suspect grabbed the boy and dragged him into a nearby trench in snake park, Galeshewe and raped him. He threatened the boy with death, should he tell any person about the rape incident. The boy broke free and informed his grandmother about the incident.

The suspect was found hiding inside his friend’s shack in Phomolong, at Galeshewe.

The Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service in the Northern Cape, Lieutenant General Risimati Shivuri condemned the incident in the strongest possible terms.

“Men should not be perpetrators of violent crimes against Women and Children, rather they should always be seen defending Women and Children against all forms of abuse” said the Provincial Commissioner.
