NATIONAL cricketer Makhaya Ntini appeared in the East London Regional Court on Wednesday charged with rape, SABC radio news reports. A 22-year-old Butterworth woman told the court Ntini raped her in a public toilet at the Buffalo Park cricket ground last December 2. She said she lived near Ntini at the time and had asked him for a lift to a shop. However, she said, he took her to the cricket ground instead, where he raped her. The trial continues.
