A 32-year-old Lenasia woman recently broke her silence after enduring years of abuse at the hands of her father.
The woman reported her father to the Lenasia SAPS on Monday, November 5, alleging that she was raped by him and gave birth to two of his children.
This, after the man arrived home on the Monday and accused his daughter of being unfaithful to him and physically assaulted her.
According to Lenasia SAPS spokesperson, Capt Netshivhodza, the man moved to Gauteng with his wife and daughter in 1999, and in 2010, they moved to Lenasia.
The abuse started shortly after the passing away of the mother in 2003.
“In 2004 the victim, who was 17-years-old at the time, gave birth to her first child. The second child was born in 2010,” Capt Netshivhodza said.
The children aged 8 and 14 – only know the man as their father and are not aware that he is actually their mother’s father as well.
The accused, appeared in the Protea Regional Court on Thursday and was expected to formally apply for bail on November 14.
The man has been charged with three counts of rape and three of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
“More rape charges could be added,” said Captain Netshivhodza.
