About 150 people marched to the Bronkhorstspruit Magistrate’s Court this morning to picket in front of the court house with the appearance of a suspected child rapist.

The man who is apparently related to the little victim’s father, appeared in the dock today.

The seven-year-old girl was raped in Rethabiseng on April 7. She had to be admitted to hospital afterwards.

The suspect’s first court appearance was on April 9. A mob of angry residents also flocked to the courthouse that day, demanding justice for the little girl and other victims of gender-based violence and femicide.

Today, the magistrate postponed the case to April 29. The suspect was remanded in custody.
