A 33-year-old man has been sentenced to two life terms by the Lenyenye regional court in Limpopo after being convicted on two counts of raping a seven-year-old girl.
National Prosecuting Authority NPA spokesperson Mashudu Malabi said the offences took place in the Sekororo area in December 2015.
The accused had been staying with the victim after he was taken in by the victims aunt to assist with household duties, including bathing the kids, Malabi said.
