A 12-year-old girl from Amanzimtoti‚ south of Durban‚ was raped and impregnated‚ allegedly by the driver of her scholar transport vehicle‚ who is still walking free three months later.
“I am deeply saddened to learn that a man entrusted with transporting a child can turn around and violate her in this manner. This is a call on us to do more to protect our children‚ we need to screen 'oMalume' and check if they do not appear on the child protection register of people convicted of committing crimes against children‚” said social development MEC Nonhlanhla Khoza.
Khoza said her department had offered trauma counselling and would be engaging with the departments of education‚ transport and community safety to ensure that the screening process was implemented as soon as possible. She also called for the speedy arrest of the man accused of the crime. “There is no reason why this man has not been arrested. The case was opened three months ago. This man is going on with his life like nothing happened‚ while the child whose life he has destroyed is dealing with the trauma alone. He must be thrown in jail‚” said Khoza.Source: TMG Digital.
