Police in KwaZulu-Natal welcomed the hefty sentence handed to a 49-year-old man who repeatedly raped his daughter since 2005, when she was five.
The Estcourt Regional Court on Monday sentenced the man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the survivor, to three life sentences.
Netshiunda said the survivor was only five years old when the rapes started and was staying with her father in Estcourt after her parents separated. Provincial police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi praised Madlala for ensuring the perpetrator was removed from society.
