A 44-year-old rapist will serve life behind bars for the rape of his pensioner neighbour. This week, the High Court of South Africa, Eastern Cape Division in Gqeberha sentenced Lindile Hini for raping a 70-year-old woman on the eve of October 29, 2023, in Kwazakhele.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Luxolo Tyali, confirmed Hini faced charges of rape, housebreaking with intent to commit a crime, and contravention of the Older Persons Act (OPA).

“The pensioner was at her home in Kwazakhele, sleeping with the lights on, and had left the back door unlocked for her son. Hini, her next-door neighbour since 1984, entered the home through the back door, undressed, and while her had been waiting for the opportunity for some time. He then forcibly removed her pants and sexually assaulted her,” said Tyali.
