Two Gauteng learners accused of attempted sexual assault at Villa Liza Secondary School

Two learners from Gauteng have been accused of attempting to sexually assault a Grade 8 girl at Villa Liza Secondary School.

The allegation is the main development identified in the report, although no further details about the incident, the learners’ ages, the circumstances surrounding the accusation or any court proceedings are provided.

The case appears among a wider set of crime and court reports, including developments involving the alleged murder of former world champion boxer Zolani Tete, police investigations in the Western Cape and a prosecution involving media personality Jub Jub.

Four suspects are in police custody in connection with the murder of Zolani Tete in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape. Three of the arrests were made on Sunday, with the suspects expected to face the legal process arising from the investigation.

The man accused of killing the boxing champion appeared in court on Monday in a wheelchair. He was wearing a white T-shirt bearing the word ‘Capone’, apparently referring to the notorious American gangster Al Capone.

Elsewhere, the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) confiscated illicit goods worth more than R3.6 million during operations along the South Africa-Zimbabwe border in Limpopo. The seized items included a Range Rover valued at R1.3 million.

A 10-month-old baby from Saldanha has also been admitted to hospital with severe injuries. The Department of Social Development has begun an urgent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child’s injuries.

Police in the Western Cape are investigating two separate triple murder incidents that are believed to be gang-related. Officers are also seeking help from the public after four charred bodies were found in Du Noon.

In another court-related development, the National Prosecuting Authority is expected to proceed with the prosecution of media personality Jub Jub. He failed to appear in court because of health issues.

Jub Jub later returned to the Germiston Magistrate’s Court, where he faces serious firearms charges. The case follows an incident involving an e-hailing driver that escalated dramatically.

The report gives no further information about the allegation involving the Grade 8 girl at Villa Liza Secondary School, including whether the two learners have been arrested, suspended or charged. It also does not state when the alleged incident took place or whether the matter has been referred to child-protection or criminal investigators.

The details provided about the other cases likewise concern ongoing investigations and court proceedings. No findings of guilt have been reported in any of the matters described.
