A 69-year-old man has been sentenced to life imprisonment in the Port Elizabeth Regional Court after he was convicted and sentenced for raping his 6-year-old granddaughter.
The court heard the rapes usually occurred when the child’s grandmother was passed out due to being highly intoxicated with alcohol.
“In March 2020, the child visited her paternal grandmother in Perseverance in Gqeberha. She was unable to return to her maternal grandparents at Kleinskool in Gqeberha due to the hard Covid-19 lockdown regulations at the time,” Ngcakani said.The grandfather pleaded not guilty in court to the charges brought against him.
The child and both her grandmothers testified in court and the grandfather remained adamant he had never raped the child “ever”. Due to a compelling case presented by State prosecutor, advocate Kenny van Biljon, the court convicted the rapist grandfather and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
