Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>An EFF politician has been arrested for the alleged rape of his 5-year-old daughter, just days after the suspect attended a men’s dialogue on gender-based violence in KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n

The man, whose name has been withheld by News24 to protect the identity of the child, appeared in the Greytown Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He recently failed in a bid to become an EFF councillor in the uMvoti Municipality.<\/p>\n

The case was postponed to 8 August as prosecutors collect more evidence. In May, police released statistics that showed that the province was a rape hotspot.<\/p>\n

The Abantu Batho Congress (ABC), which runs the council in a coalition with the ANC, went out in numbers to protest against the man receiving bail.<\/p>\n

uMvoti’s Speaker, Mfundo Masondo, an ABC councillor, said the man had been remanded in custody.<\/p>\n

EFF provincial secretary, Nkululeko Ngubane, said the party took “firm action” against members and representatives who were on the wrong side of the law.<\/p>\n

Ngubane said:<\/p>\n

In a memorandum to the court and two police stations in uMvoti, ABC Mayor Philani Mavundla said: “Considering the heinous act of rape against a 5 year old by [the] prominent politician and member of the Matimatolo community, bail [should not be] granted.”<\/p>\n

He said the travesty of men believing they “have a sexual entitlement over women and children had once again reared its ugly head”.<\/p>\n

“A few years back a woman was raped at the mayoral mansion by the cousin of former uMvoti mayor TC Ngubane,” Mavundla said.<\/p>\n

The ABC’s memorandum read:<\/p>\n

In a third case, two suspects will appear in court for allegedly raping a woman in Matimatolo on Wednesday, according to the ABC memorandum.<\/p>\n

“The two anarchists raped, undressed, and assaulted her after chasing her in her naked state. [The two] are out on bail, which speaks to inconsistency in the justice system,” it said.<\/p>\n

“We call on the prosecution to seek that the bail be revoked and the maximum sentence be carried out.”<\/p>\n

The memorandum said the cases put gender-based violence in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

“There is an animalistic tendency to violate the non-derogable rights of life and dignity,” Mavundla said in the memorandum.<\/p>\n

The ABC said it had held a men’s dialogue, themed “Isibaya samadoda [men’s kraal]”, in late July.<\/p>\n

“Regrettably, [the suspect] had the arrogance and audacity to be in attendance knowing very well that he is the chief culprit on matters of rape and child abuse.”<\/p>\n
