A 42-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly raping two friends, aged seven and 10, on two separate occasions in Gugulethu, Middeldrift, Grahamstown police reported.
Inspector Mali Govender said the rapes occurred on Monday while the children were playing outside their house.
The rapist apparently called the children to give them food.
”After the suspect had eaten, he called the children to wash the dishes in the toilet. While the children were inside, the man locked himself inside with the young girls and raped them.”
The man allegedly raped the two children again on Tuesday, after giving them chips to eat.
He will appear in the Middeldrift Magistrate’s Court soon. ‒ Sapa
