However, state prosecutor Active Njakazi had argued in aggravation of sentence that Mhlungu had raped three minors and only pleaded guilty because he had been arrested, and realised he would not be acquitted because of the DNA evidence. He argued that the rapes were premediated as Mhlungu drove around “ambushing young girls,” some of them on their way home from school, and threatened them with a firearm to induce fear.

“I will never forgive him for what he did to me. I want you to stay in jail. He can even grow old and die there,” she wrote. She said the statistics regarding child rape were “indeed scary”, and state prosecutor Active Njakazi had pointed out that Interpol has referred to South Africa as “the rape capital of the world”.“The report by the United Nations for the period 1998 to 2000 stated that South Africa was ranked first for rapes per capita. Furthermore, it was also stated that the South African police estimate that a woman in South Africa is raped every 36 seconds.
