The 40-year-old woman appeared in the Mayflower magistrate's court after the assault, which happened last week.
Brig Leonard Hlathi said the assault came to light after a concerned community member found the boy wondering the streets after school on Friday. He recognised the boy's uniform and accompanied him back to school.“Fortunately, one of the teachers, who was locking classrooms that day, found the little boy inside the classroom while his fellow pupils were already at home,” said Hlathi. “The boy related the story of being constantly abused and assaulted by his grandmother.
The boy then showed teachers and police the injuries he had suffered, allegedly at the hands of his 40-year-old grandmother. “A police probe revealed that the victim was allegedly assaulted with an axe and was afraid to ever set his foot at home because of the experience that he had. Hence, he opted to sleep in the classroom,” said Hlathi.
