DA condemns rape of a 10-year-old girl with an intellectual disability

The party says an urgent oversight inspection at Tshwaranang Disability Centre is needed after reports of the girl’s rape by four suspects.

The party said in a statement on Monday that it would write to the social development portfolio committee chairperson, Sarah Monyamane, to conduct an urgent oversight inspection at Tshwaranang Disability Centre outside Tzaneen after reports of the rape of a 10-year-old girl with an intellectual disability by four suspects.

“We condemn this incident in the strongest manner possible. It continues to highlight the vulnerability of girls and women in our societies, especially in rural areas and the failure by our government to keep them safe,” Suzan said.
