A 19-year-old suspect is expected to appear in the Lebowakgomo magistrate\u2019s court on Friday on charges of rape of two minors at Makotse New Stand in Lebowakgomo, Limpopo. <\/p>\n
The victims, a seven-year-old girl and a nine-year-old boy, were allegedly raped on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
Provincial police spokesperson Col Malesela Ledwaba said, \u201cReports suggest that the victims were playing with their friends at their neighbour\u2019s place when the suspect lured them to his place of residence. <\/p>\n
