Bloemfontein - A 40-year-old Nigerian priest, charged with raping six schoolgirls, appeared in Clocolan magistrate's court on Thursday.

The priest was arrested on October 7 2004 after the girls said he had raped them at his mission in Hlohlolwane, Clocolan.

The case was postponed on Thursday to April 11 for further investigation.

A court official said the priest was still in custody.

At a previous appearance in February, the result of an appeal against a bail application dismissed last year was not available yet.
