This, following rape allegations levelled against him.

Pilane is accused of raping two minors at his guest house in Delareyville.

It's alleged he raped a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old. Pilane also faces charges of sexual assault and abduction.

Following his arrest earlier this week after handing himself over to the police, he appeared in court where his case was postponed to February 22.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson for North West, Henry Mamothame, confirmed the 36-year-old mayor has been granted R1000 bail.

Meanwhile, social media users have taken to various platforms to call for his suspension pending investigations.
