The six-year-old victim did not answer her call, and her mother found her coming out of a mielie field.
She started crying and told the mother that she was taken away by a neighbour who raped her.
The mother reported the matter to the family members, and eShowe police were called.
The suspect was arrested on February 1, 2017, and remained in custody, appearing several times in the eShowe Magistrates’ Court before being found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment.
His name will be recorded in the Sexual Offenders Register.
