A 32-year-old northern KwaZulu-Natal man was sentenced to life and 10 years imprisonment for the 2024 rape and assault of his mother.
National Prosecuting Authority NPA spokesperson Natasha Ramkisson-Kara said the offences were committed in the Nseleni area near Empangeni, where the mother and son lived in the same homestead but in separate rondavels.
On the evening of December 1 2024, the complainant was lying in bed with her minor granddaughter when the accused knocked on her door. Upon opening it, the accused began shouting at her, accusing her of speaking about him to other people.
