Protestors are expected to gather outside the Goodwood Magistrate court on Thursday morning to demand that bail be denied to an alleged child rapist.

It follows the recent arrest of a suspect in connection to an assault on a 13 year old girl from Elsies River.

Meanwhile, the Cape Town High Court will today sentence convicted murderer, Jacobus Petoors. The 55-year-old entered into a plea agreement with the State for the kidnapping, raping, and murdering of eight-year-old Reagan Gertse in Tulbagh.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila says the state wants Petoors to spend his life behind bars.
