On 10th November 2009, the Pretoria News
reported an incident in which a woman was raped by a police officer in
Rustenburg, North West, on 29th September 2009. The policeman was arrested
along with his three colleagues three weeks following the start of an ICD
investigation. The 29-year-old woman was arrested on charges of stealing
fishing rods. The charges were dropped the following morning at the Rustenburg
Magistrate’s Court.
Then two of her female cellmates were transferred to another police
station, leaving her alone. When she asked to go to the toilet at around 8pm, a
policeman went into her cell and raped her.
She laid a charge at Tlhabane Police
Station in Rustenburg but could not get help when she revealed that the accused
was a police officer. See More
