Eastern Cape director of public prosecutions Barry Madolo welcomed the sentence and commended the prosecutor and investigating officer for their meticulous work. Stock photo.The Bhisho high court has sentenced a 47-year-old man to life imprisonment for repeatedly raping a nine-year-old girl.
The court also ordered Siyanda Madlebe’s name be included in the National Register of Sexual Offenders. The child was his girlfriend's granddaughter. Luxolo Tyali, the National Prosecuting Authority's Eastern Cape spokesperson, said Madlebe and the victim’s grandmother lived together at Gxulu, Keiskammahoek, in 2018 and 2019.
“Their living arrangement was that the victim was sleeping in the kitchen, while her granny and Madlebe slept in the bedroom. “During the night Madlebe would come to the kitchen, undress the victim and rape her. He would close her mouth with his hand to prevent her from screaming and threatened to kill her if she reported the rape,” said Tyali.
