The Lephalale Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS) arrested the suspect in relation to two statutory rape cases involving a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old girl from the Marapong location. On Monday, 18 December 2025, a 14-year-old visited the local hospital for a medical examination, and healthcare workers declared her pregnant. On the same day, a 15-year-old girl from the same location went to the hospital, and the medical personnel also declared her pregnant.
Limpopo police spokesperson Colonel Malesela Ledwaba said investigators found that a 19-year-old man had allegedly impregnated two minor girls. The suspect found out that the police were on the lookout for him, and he disappeared to evade arrest.
