Igshaan Williams, a convicted child rapist, appeared in a packed Wynberg Magistrates Court on charges of human trafficking, rape, sexual assault and abduction last Friday.

At his previous court appearance, the court heard that Williams was released on parole in November 2024 after being found guilty of a similar crime which took place in 2005 when he raped a 10-year-old girl.

He now stands accused of luring a meisie into his house, drugging and raping her on Tuesday, 13 May.

The girl was on her way to the madree-sah when Williams allegedly gave her R20 to buy milk for him. Upon returning, Williams reportedly instructed the girl to put the milk down in the kitchen and when she did this, turned around and locked the door.
