Rapist receives life imprisonment
The girl was kidnapped and raped repeatedly until she managed to text her sister to call the police.
The Ramsgate Magistrate’s Court recently sentenced Mthokozisi Khowa to life imprisonment for raping and kidnapping a 14-year-old girl in 2020.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Constable Thenjiswa Ngcobo said in October 2020, Khowa raped the victim at Elim Mission.
Ngcobo said he kidnapped the girl and raped her repeatedly until she managed to text her sister to call the police and send them to Khowa’s house, where he had kept her against her will.
“The matter was reported to Paddock SAPS and the docket was transferred to the Margate Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS) for further investigation. Khowa made several court appearances before he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for rape and a further eight years for kidnapping,” said Ngcobo.
