A 50-year-old Eastern Cape policeman accused of raping a 14-year-old girl who is known to him is expected to make a bid for bail in two weeks.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate - which has been probing the matter - said the man would appear in the East London magistrate's court on September 15.Ipid spokesperson Grace Langa said it would support the state's opposition to bail.
It is alleged that the police officer was on duty at Cambridge police station in East London last week when he left his post for the police barracks where the alleged rape took place. Langa said investigations have so far revealed that the policeman had allegedly been raping the teenager since 2018.
