Two months after the reconstruction of the case files was completed, Magistrate Alex Moore has set September 15 as the date for the Nezaam Ali rape case to be reopened and all the parents of the alleged victims have been asked to attend the hearing at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court.
The case, which should have already gone to trial in the High Court, had to be reopened after it was discovered that key pieces of documents – birth certificates and medicals –were missing from the files.
Ali, a Muslim Scholar, of 268 Section ‘C’ 5 South Turkeyen, was charged in 2012 with raping nine boys.
