DNA exonerates Limpopo man accused of impregnating girl (13)
DNA results have excluded Ditebogo Gololo as the father of the baby of a 13-year-old Limpopo girl.
The girl gave birth in Seshego on Christmas Day.
The DNA results were revealed when 28-year-old Gololo appeared in the Seshego Magistrate's Court.
Gololo, who was facing a charge of statutory rape, appeared in court on Monday and was released on bail of R1,500.
"The docket will be forwarded to the director of public prosecution for directives. The matter was postponed to 5 May,” said provincial NPA spokesperson Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi.
Gololo was taken into custody a day after the teenage girl gave birth following a call by Premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba for the father to be arrested.
It is reported that Gololo intends to sue the state for defamation of character, as he had lost his job following his arrest.
