A woman in the Eastern Cape has been sentenced to 17 years in prison after she was found guilty of beating a toddler to death with a stick.
Yesterday
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said Ncedeni Qwabe appeared in the
Eastern Cape High Court for causing the death of 19-month-old Qhamokuhle
Ndziba.
It's
understood the perpetrator had a love affair with the child's uncle and they
were taking care of the toddler while her mother was away in Cape Town. July 27
2020 Qwabe assaulted the child with a peach stick because she messed the floor with
water while she was being bathed. Initially the perpetrator stated that she
only hit her lightly with a cloth. However according Advocate Louis Sinclar, a
cross examination showed the child passed away after suffering internal
injuries and blood loss.
