It is believed that at approximately 4pm on December 17, 2017, the 44-year-old man raped his 9-year-old granddaughter and attempted to buy her silence with R10, but was caught in the act by one of her siblings.
A case was subsequently opened at Nongoma Police Station. The matter was transferred to the Ulundi Family Violence Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit for further investigation, and an exhaustive effort by the team resulted in the conviction of the suspect in the Nongoma Regional Court.
