The trial of a former Limpopo policewoman accused of sexually grooming and raping her son has been rescheduled for February 6, 2023, to allow for a bail application.
She appeared briefly in the Siyabuswa Magistrate’s Court on charges of rape and sexual grooming.
The 40-year-old police officer was arrested on Friday, 20 January, after a video of her engaging in sexual acts with her son surfaced. The boy was only 10 years old at the time the video was shot.

The former cop is accused of raping her minor son and of creating and distributing child pornographic material.
The video clip, which went viral on social media, showed the naked cop directing her son to perform sexual acts on her.
The mother and son were naked, and it appears that she recorded herself forcing her child to perform sexual acts on her.
The boy, who appeared innocent and childlike, appeared uneasy with his mother’s explicit instructions.
His mother stared into the camera lens for the duration of the video as the boy followed her instructions.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) is preparing to oppose the bail application.
Lieutenant-General Thembi Hadebe, the Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service (Saps) in Limpopo, also strongly condemned the rape.
“The actions of this woman are deplorable and deserve harsh condemnation.
“The suspect allegedly committed the crime when she was still a public servant of the Saps, she should have known better that such unbecoming behaviour deserved harsh consequences,” added Hadebe.
Following her arrest, internal police processes have already begun and will run concurrently with the criminal investigation taken over by Ipid.
The child has been taken to a safe location where he is receiving psychological care and assistance.
