MAN HELD FOR RAPE OF 3 TODDLERS
MBABANE – A man has been arrested for raping toddlers, with the youngest aged two.
The suspect was arrested by police officers based in Mankayane.
His modus operandi is said to have been to target children who visited his homestead for a play date with his younger relatives.
According to the police, he was arrested following the conclusion of an investigation of three rape cases.
Arrested
The suspect is said to be aged 53 and hails from Nhlulweni (Mankayane). The police reported that he was arrested and charged in connection with the sexual assault of three minors, with one aged two, while the pairs aged five, each.
The three children were said to have been discovered by a family member aged 21, who reported to the police that during the month of January 2025, she discovered that her nieces aged two; five and five were forced into sexual intercourse without protection inside a house by a known person. “The thorough investigation and swift action taken by the Mankayane Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is a commendable example of teamwork in the pursuit of justice,” said the police. The arrests follow an exposé by this publication on the hike of rape cases in the country which was March 14, 2025.
This publication reported that the alarming statistics surrounding sexual violence in the country paint a grim picture, as not less than two women are subjected to sexual assault every single day.
Experiences
These figures are not just numbers; they represent the traumatic experiences of real individuals whose lives are irreparably altered by such senseless acts of violence.
The three minors are part of the 34 females sexually violated in the past weeks.
Statistics reveal that many survivors experience abuse before the age of 18, with children and adolescents disproportionately affected.
While there is the Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Act to combat gender-based violence (GBV), a legal expert said: “Survivors often feel unsupported and justice is elusive for many. This must change if we are to restore confidence in the system.”
