Charges withdrawn against EC mother who killed alleged rapist

# The Lady Frere Magistrate’s Court has withdrawn charges against an Eastern Cape mother accused of killing a 65-year-old man who allegedly raped her disabled daughter. The incident occurred last month in Cacadu. Premier Oscar Mabuyane welcomed the court’s decision, calling it a case of defence, not murder. He praised the mother’s actions as protective, saying the real crime was the rape, not her response to it.
