The court heard that on the 28 December 2015, a three-year-old girl was playing outside her homestead with other children when Myeni called her.

A 15-year-old boy walking in the veld heard the child screaming in the bushes, and when he went to investigate, he discovered Myeni busy raping the child and he called the elders for help.

Community members hurried to the scene and apprehended Myeni, and handed him over to the police.
