Popular Ma|Gaisa producer Bonny Araeb (38) has been arrested on allegations of rape.

Araeb appeared on Friday at the Swakopmund Magistrates Court.

It is alleged that he raped two minors, aged 4 and 5, on several occasions during November and December of last year.

The minors are said to be Araeb's stepchildren.

According to the Namibian Police in the Erongo Region, the biological father had sent the two girls to their mother (Araeb's then-girlfriend).

The girls, upon their return, revealed the rape incident to their aunt.
