Another Soldier Allegedly Rapes Stepdaughter

The current case bears the hallmarks of another case in which a soldier based at Area S camp is awaiting sentence after he was found guilty of raping his stepdaughter. When the case started before Principal Magistrate Dumisani Basupi last week, the accused’s attorney Kagiso Jane told the court to note that medical report form that is part of evidence shows that the girl was not penetrated.

Narrating her ordeal when giving her evidence in chief, the complainant said that on February 1 this year, she reported the matter to her Guidance and Counseling teacher after she was psychologically affected by what her stepfather, a soldier at Area S, allegedly did to her.
