The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) says there are prospects for a successful prosecution against the 14 people accused of the gang rape of eight women in West Village in Krugersdorp west of Johannesburg last month.

One of the accused is a minor who is 16 years old.

“Remember that minors are not treated as adults and as the state we have to prove criminal capacity. But fortunately, the accused is 16, so we do not have the onus to prove that he indeed had criminal capacity at the time he committed the alleged offence. So, it is just to determine the reasons that led him to commit the alleged crime.”

Most of the accused that were charged with contravention of the Immigration Act, about 73 of them, appeared in different courts on Wednesday, and their cases were postponed.
