Suspect Arrested for Alleged Sexual Assault of 9-Year-Old in Strydkraal

 A 40-year-old suspect, Thabo Nchabeleng, appeared before the Sekhukhune Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, 11 December 2025, facing a charge of sexual assault involving a 9-year-old girl from Strydkraal B.

 The incident allegedly took place on 19 November 2025, when the suspect asked the child to buy him a cool drink at a nearby shop.

 Upon her return, he reportedly gave her a drink and acted inappropriately, prompting concern when the child took long to return and her aunt phoned the suspect.

 Weeks later, on 09 December 2025, the child revealed the incident to her mother during a phone call.

 The mother immediately reported the matter to Apel SAPS, leading to the suspect’s arrest.

 The case has been postponed to 19 December 2025 for a formal bail application and legal representation.
