Johannesburg - A man accused of raping six boys in Gansbaai will remain in custody after he abandoned his formal bail application in the Hermanus Magistrate’s Court, the Cape Times reported on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old appeared in court briefly on Tuesday for the third time since his arrest on April 1.

He was arrested after two 8-year-old boys pointed out his shack in the Mashakane informal settlement in Gansbaai. The boys told one of their guardians the man had raped them.

He allegedly lured six boys, aged between 7 and 12, to his shack and made them watch pornographic movies before raping them.

The trial was postponed until July 2 for further investigation as there were still statements, and a social worker's report outstanding.

Angelene Lombard says... I agree, firstly the land claims are seriously onesided it was not only black land what about the coloured people who were forced to move from their land?? This country has become soo one sided its sad actually I fear for the future generation, what will my kids have to look forward to? I mean no offense to anyone but seriously now I don't see the Rainbow nation nor do I see Racial equality in any of this the Gov seems so focused on the past that S.A's no where near the potencial we all know this country has, Wealth beyond Measure sad we will never see it prosper at the rate the Gov is going.
