The case against a police captain accused of raping a 20-year-old police trainee has been postponed.
This is to allow the police watchdog - IPID to conduct further investigation into other alleged sexual assault incidents against the police officer.
He made his second appearance in the Pretoria Magistrates court today before the matter was postponed to Friday next week.
The police captain, who is also an instructor, was arrested after he allegedly raped the trainee at the SAPS Training Academy in Tshwane earlier this month.
It is alleged that on 6 May 2025, the trainee was walking with her platoon to their sleeping quarters when she was called by the police captain to his office. Once in the office, the police captain allegedly locked the door and told the trainee that if she does not sleep with him, he will serve her with a misconduct letter regarding an incident that allegedly happened in April, where the police captain accused the trainee of failing to salute him.
