JOHANNESBURG – A 65-year-old pensioner in Limpopo has been arrested for allegedly raping his 14-year-old granddaughter.
It's alleged the abuse took place multiple times over the past two years, while the teenager's grandmother was not at home.
According to the authorities, the child was bribed with money to stay silent about the abuse.
It’s understood the suspect also tried to sell her to his friends by bringing in two other men so they too could sexually abuse her.
Police have thanked neighbors in the community of Mokwakwaila for blowing the whistle on the crime.
