A 50-year-old teacher has been sentenced to
three life terms in prison after he was found guilty of rape by the Empangeni
Regional Court
It is believed the teacher identified as Nkosingiphile
Hlekwayo repeatedly raped an 11-year-old grade six learner.
Colonel Jay Naicker said the matter was
reported to the police in August 2009 and a case was opened. The Empangeni
Family Violence Child Protection Sexual Offences Unit took over the
investigation that led to the arrest of the accused on the same day the offence
was reported.
Naicker added that the victim’s family was
threatened by the accused family and the child was then placed in a place of
safety until the case was finalised.
