“My child gets raped and I get convicted. I am not sure what it is wrong with the justice system.”
“The alleged rapist claimed that I had assaulted him but I was in hospital with the child when the community beat him up. While he is still waiting for his case to be heard, I was handed a two-year sentence for assault,” said *Mam’Anna.Mam’Anna said her family’s nightmare ordeal started when she sent the child, whom she regards as her daughter, to dispose of potato peels in a goat kraal across the road from their home.
Soon a huge crowd gathered. The police and ambulance were called as the child was vomiting. She and the child left in the ambulance for hospital. She was found guilty of assault and sentenced to two years behind bars. She alerted the court of her intention to appeal and was released on R1,000 bail on the day she was sentenced.
