Mthokozisi Khowa (21) was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping and kidnapping a 14-year-old girl.
Khowa raped the teenager at Elim Mission on October 20, 2020.
He then kidnapped the girl and raped her repeatedly until she managed to text her sister to call the police and send them to the house of the man who had kept her against her will.
The matter was reported at Paddock Saps and the docket was transferred to the Margate Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit for further investigation.
Khowa made several court appearances before he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for rape and a further eight years for kidnapping.
