The mother, however, noticed that something was wrong with her private part, and she was rushed to a local clinic.“Upon arrival, a minor child was examined by the medical personnel, who later confirmed that indeed she had been raped and also confirmed the ordeal to one of the medical personnel,” Ledwaba said.The police’s investigations are continuing, and the suspect is known to the police, but he has not been arrested.
The MEC added that the department was ready to provide support in this regard, where some communities may find it difficult.
