KZN man sentenced to life in prison for raping his daughter
The Greytown Regional Court in KwaZulu-Natal has sentenced a 29-year-old man to life imprisonment for raping his eight-year-old daughter. To protect the child's identity, the man's name has not been disclosed. According to police spokesperson Constable Siyabonga Nkwanyana, the man arrived intoxicated at a home in March, where his daughter was staying with her aunt. He demanded to sleep in the same room as the child. The following morning, the aunt noticed the girl struggling to walk. When she asked what had happened, the child told her that her father had raped her. Police opened a rape case and assigned it to Sergeant Richard Gilden from the Greytown Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit. Officers arrested the man shortly after the report.
