The
Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) is calling on all victims of rape,
child abuse and domestic offences whose cases were investigated by the Seshego
Police Station in Polokwane to report back to the station and meet with the
station commander.
IPID says two female police officers have pleaded guilty to making a rape docket disappear for a bribe of R1500 each.
The victim was allegedly raped during a prayer session, by their colleague, who is also a priest.
IPID spokesperson Grace Langa says they want to re-open cases that were handled by the two police officers.
"We've just found out through our investigations that two police women were paid by their colleague R1 500 each to make the docket disappear and to make the victim sign a statement of withdrawal against the police officer. Sofia Legodi and Agnes Mokena are constables from Seshego Police Station. They took the victim to meet with the suspect police officer. They promised her
R50 000 and the victim refused R 50 000."
