The bail hearing of a police captain accused of raping a 20-year-old female trainee is set to continue today at the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court.
The incident allegedly occurred at the SAPS Training Academy in Pretoria West in March this year. The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) has confirmed that a second complainant has also come forward, accusing the same officer of sexual assault, also in March.
IPID spokesperson Phaladi Shuping says, “The captain appeared at the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Friday, facing charges of rape and sexual assault and the case was postponed to 29 May 2025 for continuation of the bail application.”
The officer remains in custody pending the outcome of the bail proceedings.
