After almost a month of stillness due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown imposed to curb the spread of the disease, rape incidents infamously synonymous with Letlhakane have remained a thorn on the side of residents. Already two more cases have been reported in the village over the last weekend.

Letlhakane Police Station commander Michael Maphephu confirmed a report of an adolescent girl aged 17 years that was raped in the village on Saturday and another recorded on Sunday of a 16-year-old girl defiled at a cattle post seven kilometres from the village.

The rape victim was with her friends at Phase-One late in the evening when an unknown assailant attacked them. While others ran off the assailant managed to grab the victim dragging her off to a nearby bush, where he allegedly sexually assaulted her.
