The SAPS Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) unit in eShowe is investigating an alleged rape involving a Grade R pupil at a primary school in Nkandla.

King Cetshwayo District police spokesperson Captain Siyanda Shangase confirmed the matter is under investigation but that no arrest has yet been made.

The incident reportedly occurred on the school premises three weeks ago.

Parents staged a picket outside the school yesterday (Monday), with the protest disrupting teaching and learning activities.

The Zululand Observer is withholding the name of the school until comment can be obtained from the Department of Education.
