Limpopo Police Commissioner Thembi Hadebe has warned perpetrators of statutory rape following a disturbing trend of teenage pregnancies on Christmas and New Year's Eve. Police are investigating multiple cases of young girls impregnated by older men.
31 teenagers gave birth in Limpopo on the same day. Provincial Police Commissioner Thembi Hadebe has issued a stern warning to perpetrators. “We are picking up on this trend that on Christmas and New Year’s Eve, you find young teenage girls who are pregnant and when you follow up these girls are impregnated by elders who are over age. We want to put a stop to that.
” “This case is setting an example and I must promise all those who run for young girls and taking advantage of them, that we will not rest until we find them and arrest them. So I’m sending a message to every perpetrator or anyone who’s involved with a young girl that that is a crime in South Africa,” Hadebe explains.The Commissioner says they are investigating circumstances around the girl’s case of statutory rape. “When we interviewed the girl, she indicated that the person who impregnated her was working in one of the local restaurants within Polokwane and that’s when our FCF (Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Units) went and impounded the man.” “ I would like to send a message to women who leave their children, though we understand the need to go and look for better opportunities to feed their families, but at the same time they should at least keep taps of their young girls,” Hadebe adds
