DURING the month of July, Durban Central Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS) investigated two cases of rape, where the accused were convicted and sentenced to 20 years and eight years imprisonment.
According to Const Zanele Khomo from Durban Central SAPS, on 5 July, the Durban district court convicted and sentenced Clement Enyeka, (30), to 20 years imprisonment for raping a nine-year-old girl.
“It is alleged that between December 2015 and 8 August 2016 the girl was raped by her uncle, Enyeka, who lived with them in South Beach, Durban,” said Khomo.
