Another rapist, Simphiwe Madlala (31) from Gezubuso location near Pietermaritzburg was sentenced by Pietermaritzburg Regional Court to 20 years imprisonment.
KwaZulu-Natal Acting Provincial Commissioner, Major General Bheki Langa commended the FCS Units for their excellent investigation on the cases and securing convictions.
“It is really disheartening when elders who are supposed to care and protect children, instead betray their trust and abuse them. These sentences will send out a strong message to others who may have thoughts of committing similar offences,” he said.
