| The case against a 55-year-old man, who is accused of ra**ng and assaulting his six-year-old daughter, has been postponed to 9 September 2025.

The accused appeared before the Mankweng Magistrate’s Court today, where the matter was moved from Court B to Court A to allow the consolidation of charges of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and r**e.

Residents from Mothapo Ga Mogoa village , who attended the court proceedings, protested outside the courthouse demanding that the accused be denied bail.

| Six Initiates and Surgeon Injured

The MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, Mr Basikopo Makamu, has expressed deep shock following a fire incident at a legal private initiation school in Maake Village, outside Tzaneen.

The fire broke out around 11PM on Tuesday, 1 July 2025, injuring six initiates and a traditional surgeon, who is also the principal of the school. While the fire was eventually contained, all seven individuals sustained injuries.

Five of the initiates are currently in stable condition at Dr C.N. Phatudi Hospital, while one has been transferred to Letaba Hospital for further medical attention. The surgeon has since been discharged.

MEC Makamu, accompanied by members of the Provincial Initiation Coordination Committee led by Hosi Sh*tlhangoma Chauke, visited the injured initiates at Dr C.N. Phatudi Hospital on Wednesday to offer support and words of comfort.

Makamu described the incident as “shocking,” especially after all the extensive safety preparations made ahead of the season. He wished the injured a speedy recovery and offered sympathies to the affected families.

The remaining 18 initiates are reported to be safe, and a temporary initiation facility has been set up to allow them to complete the season. The department has pledged continued collaboration with health, education, SAPS, and the National Prosecuting Authority to ensure the safety and legality of the 2025 initiation season.
