Life behind bars for uncle who abused his nieces
Cape Argus
|January 28, 2026
CHILD RAPE
A 34-YEAR-OLD man has been sentenced to an effective life term by the Mitchells Plain Regional Court after being convicted of repeatedly sexually assaulting and raping his three nieces over several years.
The accused was found guilty on five counts of sexual assault, two counts of flashing, and three counts of rape. He has not been named to protect the identities of the victims and to prevent secondary victimisation.
The court imposed three life sentences and an additional 35 years direct imprisonment, ordering that the sentences run concurrently, effectively sentencing the accused to life behind bars.
In addition, the court declared the accused unfit to possess a firearm and ordered that his name be entered into the National Register for Sex Offenders and the National Child Protection Register for Persons Unsuitable to Work with Children.
