A man who
snatched a five-year-old as she walked to school and raped her at his Empangeni
home has been sentenced to 25 years in jail.
The
51-year-old rapist was convicted and sentenced this week in the Empangeni
Regional Court, KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Captain Nqobile Gwala said in
a statement.
The man
is allegedly a relative of the little girl and the attack took place in January
2010.
Acting
provincial police commissioner Major General Bhekinkosi Langa applauded the
investigating team and said that their kids are their future.
They need
to grow up in a crime-free environment.
He said they
will make sure that they protect their
children from any form of abuse directed towards them.
