The 15-year-old Bonteheuwel boy who is facing eight rape charges remains behind bars.
The teen was arrested last month after residents protested in front of his home demanding the removal of his alleged victims from the house.
He was then taken into custody and the children are now in the care of the Department of Social Development.
The horrific case came to light after a 12-year-old girl told her friends about the alleged rape.
The tjommie then told her parents who informed other community members.
The teen has been charged with rape and National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said more suspects may be arrested soon.
The 15-year-old abandoned his right to apply for bail at Bishop Lavis Magistrates’ Court and the case was postponed to 23 April for further investigation.
Bonteheuwel councillor Angus Mckenzie said: “As I committed to the people of Bonteheuwel, I will follow through till the very end of this horrific and heinous case.
“Yesterday, accompanied by a number of residents we attended the second appearance of the 15-year-old accused of sexually assaulting a raping a number of minor children. What is more traumatic is that the victims of the case are connected to the perpetrator.”
Mckenzie said he will make sure there is justice for the victims.
“While gender-based violence (GBV) continues to spiral out of control across the country, despite various empty promises made by President Cyril Ramaphosa, residents of Bonteheuwel and all those connected to this case can rest assured that I will follow through till the very end of this case, we will deliver justice not just for the victims but for the other 84 999 residents of Bonteheuwel that seek it.”
