Suspected Defilement Cases Worry Kgosi, MP

Last week alone, the Kagiso Customary Court registered four cases in which female students were illegally kept in houses by out-of-school males aged about 24 years. Affected students were from Makhubu and Lebogang Junior Secondary Schools.

During a kgotla meeting this week, court president Mark Thipe appealed to parents and other stakeholders to assist in ending such illegal practices. “Bana ba tswalelwa mo mantlong mo re belaelang gore ba dirisiwa botlhaswa ke borre (Children are kept in houses where we suspect they are abused by men),” he said.
