by Shamiela FisherCAPE TOWN - A man convicted of having raped his 11-year-old neighbour in Centane, the Eastern Cape, has been sentenced to 20 years behind bars.
The 25-year-old man attacked the child in the Gqunqe village in January last year.
He was sentenced in the Centane Regional Court on Friday.
The police's Jackson Manatha said: “The accused then poured, in a glass of water, some white powder in a glass of water and forced the victim to drink it and said that later he then raped the victim and a rape case was opened at Centane police station.”
Another rapist was sentenced on that same day, this time in Butterworth.
The 59-year-old man raped his 18-year-old stepdaughter back in 2005.
He has been slapped with an 18-year jail term.
