A pastor accused of raping and impregnating his 19-year-old biological daughter was remanded in custody pending the results of DNA tests.
The case was postponed to next Thursday by the Mkhuhlu Magistrate’s Court this week.
The pastor, 54, from Cunningmore B near Calcutta village outside Hazyview, was not asked to plead to a charge of rape.
“The court remanded him in custody to avoid any chances of him interfering with the victim as we are still waiting for the DNA tests to prove whether he is the father of his daughter’s baby or not,” police spokesperson Const Tshepo Lebjane said.
