According to TimesLive, Warrant Officer Mhlobo Mpela, 52, was sentenced to 18 years imprisonment for the rape of a detainee in November 2008 in the Mthatha Regional Court.
Spokesperson for the Eastern Cape National Prosecuting Authority , Luxolo Tyali, said Mpela took the then 44-year-old woman from the cells to offices within the police station. After telling fellow detainees what had happened, the woman tried reporting the matter to another police officer, but was told “they were still busy handing over duties”.
