police badgeDURBAN, (CAJ News) – A KwaZulu-Natal man has been slapped with two life sentences for violating two teenagers.

Simanga Mugabe Khumalo also known as Smanga Mazibuko (31) was sentenced at Ladysmith Regional Court.

The first incident took place during November 2013 when the accused lured his victim into a donga in the Peacetown area and raped her. His victim was 13 years old at the time of the incident. Three friends of the victims witnessed the incident.

He was arrested but later released on bail.

Before his trial could commence he committed the same offence, this time
on a 19-year-old.

The incident was reported four months later, leading to his arrest.

Witnesses delivered outstanding testimony and coupled with the evidence of the victim, the accused’s fate was sealed.

He was sentenced to life imprisonment on each of the rape cases.

The Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Mmamonnye Ngobeni, welcomed the sentence handed down to the rapist.

“We welcome the sentence and we hope that it will send a strong message to other would be rapists who target our vulnerable women and children,” she said.
