The Provincial Commissioner, Lt Gen Liziwe Ntshinga has welcomed the three life sentences imposed on rape accused in the Mbizan/Tabankulu High Court on the 11 August 2020.

It is alleged that during 2011, the accused, 22 at the time, raped two young girls, 9 and 11 years old who are his cousins.

This cruelty continued until 2014, when he raped his 13-year-old sister who was brave enough and decided to tell the elders in her family about the rape. The young girl also confirmed the information when she was questioned. The matter was immediately reported to the police and the docket was handed over to Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offence Unit (FCS) for further investigation.
