Man who raped girl (12) and paid her R5 sentenced to life In Prison

The Mhala Regional Court in Mpumalanga has sentenced a 47-year-old man to life imprisonment for raping his 12-year-old niece.

Police spokesperson Brigadier Leonard Hlathi said Solly Mabunda was sentenced on Wednesday.

Hlathi said Mabunda entered the mother’s bedroom, where the minor was, on July 9.

“He undressed her and covered her mouth with a cloth before raping her. When he was done, he took her to the nearby bushes where he gave the victim R5 and informed her that from that day onwards, she was his girlfriend.

“The victim’s mother went to her bedroom and found a towel full of blood stains. She then began looking for her daughter without any luck and proceeded to the nearby bushes where she found her in the company of the suspect. She asked the child what had happened to her and the victim told her about the rape ordeal in the house,” said Hlathi.

She took her daughter to a local clinic for medical treatment, where it was confirmed that she was raped.
The case was reported to the police and the suspect was arrested the same day.
