Letsitele police are searching for a 26-year-old man in connection with the rape of his 16-year-old sister that occurred at Babanana village, Limpopo police said on Friday.
Spokesperson, Brigadier Hlulani Mashaba said the incident happened on September 21, at around 10 pm.
Mashaba said that according to the information received, the 16-year-old girl was asleep inside the bedroom that she shares with her 11-year-old brother and 26-year-old brother.
“It is reported that the elder brother joined the victim who was sleeping on separate blankets with her younger brother. The suspect allegedly undressed the victim and raped her while the younger brother was asleep,” Mashaba said.
The following day, the abused teenager went to school without informing anyone about what had transpired.
“Fortunately, while attending school, the victim was confronted by one of the educators who noticed that something was wrong with her. The teenager informed the educator that she was raped by her brother in the evening,” said Mashaba.
“Afterwards, the educator attempted to locate the mother of the victim for a while but she was not successful. On Monday, October 30, the educator managed to find the victim’s mother and told her what has happened between her children.”
The mother then consulted with a social worker on Wednesday, and the duo reported the incident at Letsitele police station in Limpopo.
“A rape case was immediately opened against the elder brother of the victim, who is currently on the run. A manhunt is underway for his arrest,” said Mashaba.
Anyone with information that can assist should contact the Tzaneen family violence, child protection, and sexual offences (FCS) or Crime Stop on 086-001-0111 or their nearest police station or My SAPS App.
