KHUJWANA VILLAGE – A 42-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly raping a 15-year-old boy at Khujwana Village in Greater cTzaneen.
The incident reportedly occurred two weeks ago.
It is alleged that the woman, who was under the influence of alcohol at the time, called the teenage boy to her home before raping him and warn him not tell anyone.
The boy later informed his parents about the rape, and a case was subsequently opened at Ritavi Police Station.
A family member closed to the situation confirmed that the suspect, who is a mother of three children, was arrested on Friday. She is expected to appear before the Ritavi Magistrate’s Court today, where she will face assault charges.
Community leaders at Khujwana village have since condemned the incident, calling for justice and urging adults to protect, not harm, young people.
