A South African man, age 52 in Taung has been slated to spending the rest of his life in jail for the rape of an 11-year-old girl in the community.
According to local media, Ratiki Radebe was sentenced on Thursday for raping the child multiple times between December 2020 and March 2021 in Kolong Village in the North West.
Radebe worked at a cattle post near the family’s home and would occasionally bring them milk.
The victim was found by a resident near a local river.
While commenting on the matter, the National Prosecuting Authority’s Henry Mamothame said the judgement would be a sound warning to other perpetuators still lurking the community.
