The Kuruman Regional Court recently imposed a 18 years direct imprisonment to a 27 year old man for raping a 16 years old female victim on Saturday, 27 February 2021.
The Court heard that the victim was walking with her boyfriend when they were approached by an unknown person asking for matches.
When they could not give him matches, he decided to pelt the pair with stones and they ran away in different directions.
The suspect chased the victim and caught up with her. He dragged her to a nearby veld and raped her.
The Northern Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Koliswa Otola, applauded Detective Sergeant Jamine Armstrong from the Kuruman FCS Unit for her dedication, hardwork and sterling investigation that ensured justice for Gender Based Violence and Fermicide victims.
She added that GBV is a sign of disrespect to human dignity.
