Springs police spokesman Captain Johannes Ramphora says Jabu Mahlagu (25), was sentenced by the Springs Regional Court.
He says Mahlangu raped a 17-year-old girl in KwaThema in July 2013.
Mahlangu was also declared unfit to possess a firearm.
“We hope that the sentence will send a message to other rapists,” says Ramphora.
