The Pietermaritzburg Regional Court sentenced the man after he pleaded guilty.
"He said that he had initially considered suicide, but decided to rape the boys instead. On the day of the incident, the children were playing outside his house when he called them individually into his room and raped them," Ramkisson-Kara said. The NPA added that the children had received psycho-social intervention and holistic medico-legal assistance at the TCC. The man was then pointed out to the police and arrested.
In aggravation of sentence, prosecutor Yashania Manickum told the court that the man’s actions proved that he was a danger to society.
