Plucky rape victim, 13, back at school

Less than a day after she was kidnapped and raped, a 13-year-old
Soshanguve girl was back at school.

On Sunday night a man dragged the girl, a Grade 6 pupil, to a shack and
raped her.

The girl's mother on Tuesday said the man kept the girl in his shack
overnight. It is believed he raped her twice.

The girl was rescued by community members the following morning.

She went to the clinic before school on Tuesday for a medical
examination, and was given antiretroviral treatment.

The 32-year-old suspect is believed to be part of a gang.
