Kenneth Mgaga (36), an ANC Councilor in the Joburg City Council, has requested a paid leave of absence after appearing in court for r_aping a 28 year old woman at his house on 26 December.
Mgaga was arrested on 1 January 2021 and appeared at the Wynberg Magistrates court on 4 January.
The circumstances around the case are that on 25 December, the woman spent the night at Mgaga’s house, and he r_aped her on the morning of the 26th of January.
