The rape charges against Ntsokolo Nkwali, 24, and Thabang Motlhabane, 29 will be dropped. The two men were held for raping a Free State doctor at the Pelonomi hospital in Bloemfontein in October.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Medupe Simasiku said “they are expected to be released from custody anytime from Wednesday, because no DNA linking them to the alleged crime had been found during the investigation”.

An investigation into a 16-year-old Lesotho national, who was still in custody, would continue as this was the only suspect linked to the crime by the victim.

The 16-year-old is expected to appear in court on the 29th of November.
