Western Cape SAPS management welcomes the 25 years effective sentences that was handed down to two 24 year old convicted rapists, Samkelo Ndondo and Nkosinathi Nomane.
On Friday, 7 February 2020, they were found guilty on five counts of rape and two counts of kidnapping of a 20-year-old female in the Blue Downs Regional Court.
They were traced and arrested with another 21-year-old co-accused on Monday, 18 May 2015, the day after they gang raped the victim. The perpetrators used a firearm to threaten and kidnap the victim at around 01:00 the morning in Pedro Street, Wallacedene, while on her way home from a party.
The gun wielding rapists initially forced her into an alley and later to an open field where they repeatedly raped her.
The two convicted rapists was positively linked to the rape through DNA, while the case was withdrawn against the third accused due to a lack of evidence. The convicted rapists first appeared in the Blue Downs Regional Court on 19 May 2015, where bail was successfully opposed. Ndondo was convicted on two charges of rape, while Nomane was convicted on three charges of rape on 2 December 2019.
Both accused were sentenced to 20 years imprisonment on the rape charge and five- years for kidnapping.
