Eerste River mother speaks out after her three-year-old daughter was found raped.
An Eerste River mother spoke for the first time about the day her three-year-old daughter went missing from her father's care on 30 June 2026 and was later raped.
"I was so hurt, I was so hurt when I found out she was raped by that guy, I just felt like he took my daughter's future away!"
The toddler was found injured in a bushy area behind a shack in Forest Village by a sex-worker who caught the suspect assaulting her.
The man was killed by angry community members. The father, 39, admitted he had gone to a nearby shebeen for a beer while hungover but insisted his daughter was not with him when she went missing and denied ever being with the man accused of the attack.
