A Pietermaritzburg Regional Court convicted and sentenced a 45-year-old stepfather to an effective life imprisonment for rape he had committed in 2014.

Thulani Zwane said…“A 13-year-old victim was sleeping in her room when she was approached by the accused who took her to another room where she was raped. 

The mother of the victim woke up and noticed that her husband was not in bed, she immediately went and check on him in the other rooms but only discovered that the victim was also not in her bedroom.

She further checked the other room upstairs and found her husband with the victim both naked. 

A short while later the victim’s mother took the child to the doctor for examination and it was confirmed that she had been raped.


A case of rape was subsequently opened at Plessislaer SAPS.”
