High Court upholds triple child rapist's life sentence
Cape Argus
|November 20, 2025
A CHILD rapist’s appeal to overturn a conviction and life sentence was denied by the Western Cape High Court
At the Wynberg Regional Magistrate’s Court, Nicholas van der Schyff was jailed for raping twin sisters and another minor but denied this, maintaining the evidence against him was fabricated.
The children testified regarding events that allegedly occurred in 2015, when the twins were 9 and the friend would have been about 7 years old.
Van der Schyff, who was a friend of the twins’ grandfather, was convicted on a charge of rape, six charges of sexual assault and three charges of exposing or displaying pornography to children after his complainants testified in 2023.

Hope, trust keep South Africans together
IF IT WERE true that politicians without exception are corrupt; that by far most municipalities are incompetent and fail; that the series of Commissions to investigate fraud is a farce and the billions lost will never be retrieved, how do South Africans remain hopeful and forge ahead to pay their taxes and eke out a living?
