A 34-year-old Ethiopian man, accused of raping a seven-year-old girl inside his Diepsloot tuckshop, is expected to appear in the Randburg Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
The case was previously postponed for further investigations.
The man was arrested after he allegedly lured the girl and her 10-year-old brother into his Diepsloot shop with snacks and then gave the boy R5 and told him to cover his face. Then he allegedly raped the girl.
On August 16, the man was denied bail after the mother of the minor broke down in tears while testifying in mitigation of bail, asking for the man to be kept in jail.
Magistrate Abdul Khan said that the tearful mothers testimony provided detailed information about how the incident occurred.
