A 41-year-old father from Malelane is set to appear in court today for allegedly raping his two daughters, aged six and ten. This horrific abuse is thought to have gone on since last year, until the eldest sister, 13, shared the disturbing news with a friend at school, who then reported it to teachers.
Thankfully, the school authorities sprang into action, alerting the department of social development, who then notified the police. A preliminary investigation was conducted, and the children were taken to a medical facility for further examination. This ultimately led to the father’s arrest on Saturday, 19 October 2024.
What’s even more shocking is that the incidents allegedly occurred while the mother was present, either sleeping or watching TV. As a result, all four children have been removed from the home and are now safe in a shelter.
