‘Treintjie’ is a vile game promoting rape

- MONIQUE DUVAL

A MOTHER has raised the alarm on a shocking new game called treintjie, where little boys are made to watch porn before they are raped by older boys.

The 32-year-old woman uncovered the truth behind the game after her 7-yearold son told her he had been molested by teens in their street several months ago.

She says that on October 4, her son and his friends were playing at her home when they spilt the beans.

“My son told me that three boys in the road took him to the house of the main boy where they put him on a bed and showed him ‘ougat stuff ’ on a tablet,” the mom says.

“He put lipstick on himself and gave my son biscuits and tea and then, along with two others, they sodomised my child while a fourth boy just watched. He cried and told me it was sore, but he was scared because they threatened him with a knife if he told anyone. Then there was a second incident where the main boy raped my son on his own.”

The mother says she took her son to the local police station where she opened a case, and her son received counsellin­g.

A medical examinatio­n confirmed the boy had been sodomised, and he identified the alleged perpetrato­rs to his mother.

SAPS spokespers­on Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana says police are investigat­ing the rapes.

“This office can confirm the incidents took place over a period of time between several boys, the youngest being six years old. A 15-year-old boy was brought in for questionin­g about these incidents and has gone for an assessment. Detectives are following up on outstandin­g victims who have not reported the incidents.”

The mother says more parents in the road took their sons for medical exams, and doctors have confirmed that three other boys were sodomised.
