Johannesburg - A Western Cape policeman accused of raping a 65-year-old
woman appeared in the Robertson Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, the Independent
Police Investigative Directorate said.
Spokesperson Moses Dlamini said the 37-year-old sergeant, based at the
McGregor police station, would be back in court on 24 December for a bail
application. He remained in custody.
The sergeant apparently took the woman in his car to a graveyard in the
area where the crime was committed on Saturday night while he was off duty.
He was arrested at his home on Sunday after the woman reported the
matter to the police.
Dlamini said the man's private vehicle was seized for forensic
investigation.
