A 58-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a rape case involving a 12-year-old girl in Dobsonville, Soweto.

The incident occurred during Easter weekend, and the man faces serious charges.
The South African Police have taken the case seriously, and the Department of Social Development has provided support to the victim's family.

This past week, South Africa was rocked by another horrifying child raper of a 12-year-old girl in Dobsonville, Soweto– a young girl brutally violated in one of the very places she should have felt safest.
As details of her case surfaced, heartbreak gave way to rage across communities, social media, and civil society.

How does a nation claim to protect its children while predators walk free?

South Africa has one of the highest rates of child rape in the world, with children as young as six months reported as victims. According to SAPS data and child rights organisations:

Over 24,000 children are raped in South Africa every year.
Only 1 in 9 rape cases are reported.
Conviction rates remain dismally low, with less than 10% of reported rapes leading to successful prosecution.
This is not just a policing issue—this is a national crisis.

Businesspeople, This Is Your Fight Too
Entrepreneurs and professionals have a critical role to play in protecting children:
Fund Child Advocacy Initiatives: Allocate CSI (Corporate Social Investment) budgets to NGOs like Tears Foundation, Women and Men Against Child Abuse, and Childline SA.
Sponsor Helplines, Safe Spaces & Therapy: Businesses can fund confidential spaces in schools, townships, or malls for victims to seek help.
Use Platforms to Raise Awareness: Include anti-GBV campaigns in your marketing and CSR activities.
Incentivize Employee Training: Train staff to spot abuse, especially in industries like education, transport, hospitality, and retail.

 Tuesday 21 April 2026 NPA WELCOMES LIFE SENTENCES IN DEADLY UPINGTON ROAD RAGE DOUBLE MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MURDER CASE Upington, Northern Cape – The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) welcomes the sentence imposed on John Ivan Francious Mouton (50), a resident of Upington, who was convicted by the High Court in Upington on two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder following a tragic and senseless incident arising from a road collision. The matter stems from events that unfolded in the early hours of 17 December 2022. The accused was involved in a motor vehicle collision with Joshua Rock. Following the collision, he retrieved a firearm from his vehicle and threatened Rock. During this confrontation, Shadrack Dube, a friend of Rock, arrived at the scene and attempted to intervene and defuse the situation. Despite these efforts, the accused discharged his firearm twice. Rock subsequently left the scene, while Dube remained behind. Shortly thereafter, the owner of the...

  The following article was published on 04/14/2025 By Ben Lefebvre Politico.com : 2025: The U.S. oil industry is suffering from the lowest crude prices in years, surging costs for steel and an economic downturn that could send consumer demand for its products plummeting. Oil prices have tumbled nearly 15 percent since April 2 to their lowest level since April 2021, a drop that is testing oil executives’ patience. And it’s prompting some in the industry to warn the White House that Trump’s trade policy risks killing his plan for “energy dominance.” So far, though, the sector is sticking with its support of President Donald Trump, hoping that his calls to negotiate trade pacts with individual countries to avoid tariffs and Republicans’ plan to extend tax cuts would offset their financial pain. The industry’s reluctance to publicly criticize Trump is noteworthy given the pain it is feeling from the import taxes he’s hiked on the steel that oil companies need for new pipelines and pro...
