Activists dismayed over dropping of Cwecwe rape case
JOHANNESBURG - The outrage over the dropping of the Cwecwe rape case continues. The National Prosecuting Authority said there is insufficient evidence to charge anyone for the rape of the seven-year-old in Matatiele, North of Eastern Cape. NPA's decision has been widely condemned, with organisations like NotInMyName International calling for an immediate review of the investigation. Last month Police Minister Senzo Mchunu announced that there were no witnesses or suspects and a medical examination found no foreign DNA on the little girl. "DNA testing was done on the victim as per procedure and the outcome of those who were dealing with the matter was that no foreign DNA could be found on the victim," the Police Minister explained. The little girl was reportedly raped in October 2024 at the Bergview College school grounds in Matatiele. eNCA reporter Bafedile Moerane spoke to Themba Masango from NotInMyName International as they have expressed their outrage over NPA's decision.
