Johannesburg - A Western Cape policeman accused of raping
a 65-year-old woman appeared in the Robertson Magistrate's Court on Tuesday,
the Independent Police Investigative Directorate said.
Spokesperson Moses Dlamini said the 37-year-old sergeant,
based at the McGregor police station, would be back in court on 24 December for
a bail application. He remained in custody.
The sergeant apparently took the woman in his car to a
graveyard in the area where the crime was committed on Saturday night while he
was off duty.
He was arrested at his home on Sunday after the woman
reported the matter to the police.
Dlamini said the man's private vehicle was seized for
forensic investigation.
