The Kimberley Magistrate’s Court has heard that a 38-year-old doctor accused of raping a 17-year-old girl is not registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).
The suspect, Llunga Kalasa who is a Congolese national, initially came into the country on a visitor’s passport, which expired in 2018.
Kalasa, who now claims to be a medical assistant, allegedly raped the teenage girl in the waiting room at his surgery.
Northern Cape NPA spokesperson Mojalefa Senokoatsane says he has admitted to not being a doctor.
“He is illegal. There is nothing that will make him stay in the country. Now he is saying he is not a doctor. On top of the charges he is facing, our position is that we are opposing this bail given the seriousness of the charges against the accused. Like the IO [Investigating Officer ] said, we might add additional charges against the accused.”
