The Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit in Giyani is investigating a case of rape following an incident in which a 14-year-old tenager allegedly raped a 6-year-old girl at Makumeke village, outside Malamulele, Vhembe District on Saturday, 08 November 2025, at approximately 18:00.


According to the preliminary reports, the victim returned home carrying sweets and snacks. When she was asked to who had bought them, the child mentioned the suspect's name.

The child then complained that her private parts were painful. The mother immediately took her daughter to a local hospital for medical examination, where medical personnel confirmed that the child had been raped.

The child subsequently revealed to her mother that the suspect had allegedly lured her to the bushes where he violated her.

A case of rape was opened at Malamulele Police Station and immediately transferred to the Giyani Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit for thorough investigation.


Police swiftly traced the 14-year-old suspect. He has been released into the care of his parents pending the probation officer's assessment, scheduled for tomorrow, where he will be formally charged. The suspect is expected to appear before the Malamulele Magistrate's Court soon.
