Dube caged for ‘defiling, raping minor’

The accused, Edward Dube, 36, had made an application before the Magistrate’s court asking to stop the State from taking a blood sample from him willfully or forcefully to determine if he indeed fathered a child with the minor aged 17 in 2022.

When giving a ruling regarding the application, Magistrate Tshepo Magetse said the applicant was refusing to have blood extracted from him for purposes of determining if his DNA matches that of the child he allegedly fathered with the minor.
