Last week Pinetown Regional court convicted and sentenced a 21-year-old uncle to 21 years imprisonment for raping his six-year-old niece.
In another incident a father was sentenced to ten years imprisonment by the Pinetown Regional Court for raping his 19-year-old daughter.
The KwaZulu-Natal Acting Provincial Commissioner, Major General Bheki Langa, commended the Pinetown FCS Unit detectives for their sterling investigative work that resulted in securing these harsh sentences. “We hope the harsh sentences will send a strong message to other criminals who abuse children and women instead of protecting them,” he said.
