Qacha’s Nek, Jan. 15 — Motloang Mankoe, a 20 year-old resident of Waterfall, was granted bail on Wednesday by Qacha’s Nek Magistrate Court after being charged with raping a 66 year-old woman.

Senior Magistrate Ts’eliso Bale released Mankoe on a M300 bail under the conditions that he must not interfere with state witnesses, hinder police investigations and is required to attend all court remands and stand trial to its conclusion.
