Parents at Mmaphai Primary School in Tickeyline, Ga-Maake, are demanding answers from the school following the alleged rape of a learner.
It is alleged that the incident occurred in July 2026 in the school toilets, where a 10-year-old learner was allegedly sexually assaulted by two 15-year-old Grade 7 learners. According to information received, the matter was reported to the family.
The learner was taken to Maake Clinic and later transferred to Dr C.N. Phatudi Hospital, where the alleged rape was confirmed. The mother of the victim says her child is traumatised and no longer feels safe at school.
Parents say teaching and learning were suspended for two weeks following the incident. However, they have raised concerns that the two alleged perpetrators have since returned to school, raising safety concerns for other learners.
Parents are demanding that the alleged perpetrators be removed from the school and are calling on the Limpopo Department of Education to intervene urgently to ensure the safety of learners at the school.
Police and the Department of Education are yet to comment on the matter.
