Bail hearing postponed for Burundi nationals charged with rape and kidnapping of Cape Town teen

The case against three Burundi men charged with kidnapping and raping a teenager in Cape Town has been postponed, and a bail hearing is set for December. 

The men appeared briefly in Wynberg Magistrates Court on Tuesday. They also face charges of robbery and extortion. A new lawyer, Livhuwani Nemugumoni, is now representing them after their previous lawyer stepped down. 

The suspects are accused of forcing a 14-year-old girl into their car in Samora Machel on November 13. Police found the suspects four days later in a house in Parow and rescued the girl. 

She has since been reunited with her family. The men are expected to request bail on December 11.
