MBABANE – When their uncle offered to scrub their backs, two minors had no idea that he had ulterior motives.


The uncle, *Sipho (36) allegedly raped the two minors aged six and eight while their grandmother, who is their guardian, had left to attend a funeral in South Africa.


The girls are in Grade III and Grade I.
The alleged rape occurred on Sunday night at Lamgabhi at an area called Emalayinini. Sipho had been left at the homestead together with the minors, three of which were girls and the rest were boys.


Sipho allegedly lured the children into his house by saying he wanted to bathe them and scrub their backs. The uncle lives in a separate house within the homestead where the children also reside.


Speaking with the consent of his grandmother, the eldest child, a teenage boy, who was also present during the day, stated that his uncle had never bathed the children ever since he arrived to stay at the homestead two years ago.


He alleged that when they asked why he wanted to bathe the girls in his house without them being present, he stated that he wanted to scrub them and they would not be comfortable in front of the other children.


“He first called the six-year-old and bathed her with the door closed and we were in the outside kitchen in front of a fire since Sunday night was cold,” the boy said.


After bathing the little girl, he then told her to get on top of his bed before he allegedly committed the unspeakable act.
