A 14-year-old Langa girl has been kidnapped and raped, while she was making her way to school. The incident happened at around 07:15 on Tuesday.

 

 

Western Cape Provincial SAPS spokesperson, Frederick Van Wyk confirmed the details to Smile 90.4FM.

 

 

According reports, the victim left home to go to school, when she stopped at a shop to buy chips when she was called by a taxi driver in a white Toyota Quantum taxi. The driver gave her money to buy cigarettes for him which she did. When she came back he told her to put it on the passenger seat as the driver’s window was not working.

 

 

When she attempted to opened the sliding door, two passengers grabbed her and the trio drove off with her.

 

 

They drove with her to an unknown field where she was taken out of the taxi and raped by the driver only. She was then placed back in the taxi and the suspects drove back and dropped her off in Washington Street, Langa.

 

The suspects are still at large. Members of the public who may have information are advised to contact the Bishop Lavis Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit.

 

 

Anyone with information about this incident is kindly requested to contact the investigation officer Detective Sergeant Lee-Ann Carstens on 082 559 4598 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
