Rape case against Limpopo teacher postponed
The matter against Limpopo primary school teacher accused of raping a grade 7 pupil has been postponed to 11 April.
The man appeared in the Mankweng Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, where it was postponed for profiling and a formal bail application.
The 58-year-old teacher under Capricorn South Education District outside Polokwane is accused of raping the 13-year-old girl.
According to police, the teacher raped the young girl several times since November 2024 until March this year.
The spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority, Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi, says more charges will be preferred.
"We will include the sexual grooming in terms of section 305 of the Children's Act as we are still processing the investigations," she said.
