A 38-year-old woman from Potchefstroom was arrested on Christmas Eve after she allegedly raped a teenage girl.
Spokesperson for police Lieutenant Colonel Amanda Funani says the rape happened in Oudedorp just outside of town.
She says it is alleged that the suspect and the 15-year-old victim had a quarrel about alcohol when a fight ensued.
Lieutenant Funani says the woman was arrested after she forcefully shoved a bottle into the teenager's private parts.
She says the child was badly injured and admitted to a local hospital.
The woman is expected to appear in the Potchefstroom Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
The Provincial Commissioner of North West, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena was shocked by the incident and instructed the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS) to oppose bail and ensure that justice is served.
