Justice for Cwecwe: AfriForum is demanding a full explanation from the police and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) over the decision to drop the rape case involving a seven-year-old girl in Matatiele, Eastern Cape.
This follows the NPA’s announcement earlier this week that no one would be prosecuted due to insufficient evidence.
