Girl (16) says forced to marry man (45)

Sep 28, 2012 | Sapa | 18 comments

A man will appear in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court for allegedly abducting and raping a teenage girl

Captain Frederick van Wyk said the 45-year-old man's court appearance on Monday follows his arrest in Du Noon, Milnerton, on Wednesday.

He allegedly forced a 16-year-old girl from Nqamakhwe in the Eastern Cape to marry him on June 1 this year.

She was then brought back to his Cape Town home where she was held against her will and regularly forced to have sex with him, Van Wyk said.

The girl fell ill last Thursday and persuaded the man to take her to a local clinic, where she managed to tell the nurse what happened.

The nurse informed police, who traced the man back to his home.

Good for you girl - you showed so much strength and bravery
Where were her parents through all this? Please don't tell me that they sold the poor girl into this nightmare.

Hail

This is too much and I always ask myself what is that minister of women and children doing? Just on a daily basis what is her job description? I was excited when she was appointed, to my silly believe I thought this will be the end of this horrible thing happening to children. If I may ask, what did she achieved or done since January up to now? just only this year. Do ministers have goals related to their work per half year or per year? Do they evaluate the MPs? how do they rate them? Because I cannot see any change since they make that department or was it just job creation for someone nje?
