A constable at the Springs police station in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, has been sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment for rape.
Limpopo police spokesperson Col Malesela Ledwaba said aThe child's circumstances were flagged with police when his school principal reported a grade 1 pupil was living in unhygienic conditions. An intervention was made with the mother to improve his living conditions but this was not done.
The minor was removed from his mother's care and taken to a place of safety at a children's home in Modimolle. Subsequently, he was taken for medical examination because he displayed symptoms of sexual abuse. A forensic assessment obtained by police on Tuesday showed the child was raped on several occasions.
The suspect was expected to appear in the Modimolle magistrate’s court on Thursday on a charge of rape.
