Trial of three alleged paedophiles postponed to November

The High Court in Polokwane, Limpopo, has postponed the trial of three men accused of sexual exploitation and grooming of two children to the 11th of November.

The minors were allegedly sexually abused and groomed at a farm in Tzaneen by their father and his friends.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) says the cross-examination of the 10-year-old victim has been concluded.

A teacher who’s now the legal guardian of the minors will take the stand next month when the matter is back in court.

The trial which is held in camera, will resume on November 11.

The three accused, including the father of the minors, are being tried for a series of rapes perpetrated against the minors between 2022 and 2023.

The fourth accused has since passed away. The victims were aged 9 and 11 at the time.
