Life sentence for Durban uncle, 27, who raped 10-year-old niece | Independent on Saturday

Youth should not be on the side of a 27-year-old uncle who raped his 10-year-old niece, the Durban Sexual Offences Court ruled yesterday. “Twenty-seven is not that young,” magistrate Melanie de Jager told a KwaMashu man before sentencing him to life imprisonment.

“There has been no evidence that you were immature,” she added, as the man who had been entrusted to care for the girl and her brothers, sat in the dock. The court heard that just over a year ago, the child’s mother - his sister - had gone away to train as a sangoma. Referring to the child’s victim impact statement, she said: “She expressed her feelings and the impact the rape has had on her, even though it was a year after.
