A man accused of raping a 17-year-old girl while her parents were praying in another room will appear in the Mankweng Magistrates Court in South Africa.
The Limpopo man (32) from Sebayeng was not asked to plead to a charge of rape when he appeared in the Mankweng Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
"The man told the victim's parents that he was a prophet and could remove a stake from the girl's stomach. He told the parents to go and pray for an hour in another room while he made tea and went to another room with the victim.
"The girl was raped while the parents were praying," police spokeswoman Lieutenant-Colonel Ronel Otto said.
The suspect was arrested on Tuesday. In his first court appearance the next day, he was kept in custody until today for a formal bail application.
