Eastern Cape dad allegedly kidnaps, rapes daughter

A 16-year-old girl who was kidnapped, allegedly by her father, and raped has been found on a farm outside Grahamstown, Eastern Cape police said on Thursday.

"She is severely traumatised," Captain Mali Govender said.

"Police received a report of a missing girl on Sunday and it was later discovered that she was kidnapped by her biological father."

She had reported a case of rape and assault against her father before the incident, Govender said.

The teenager was found around noon on Tuesday at a farm where she was being held hostage.

By the time the police arrived, her father had left.
