North West ANC councillor Tebogo Sepale, who is accused of statutory rape of two boys, has been denied bail in the Orkney magistrate’s court.
Sepale, a ward councillor in the Matlosana local municipality, appeared incourt on Friday.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Henry Mamothame welcomed the ruling.
Sepale is facing 11 charges – two of statutory rape, three of the violation of a child, one for manufacturing pornographic material, four for rape and one for sexual intimidation.
“The state may add other charges when the matter goes to a higher court,” Mamothame said.
Sepale was arrested in May.
The case was postponed to January 17.
