A 30-year-old man from Limpopo, South Africa, was sentenced to 18 years imprisonment for the rape of his ex-girlfriend, immigration violations, and resisting arrest.
A 30-year-old man, Hasani Bennett Chauke, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for rape, violating the Immigration Act, and resisting arrest . Chauke's conviction stems from an incident in October 2023 where he sexually assaulted his ex-girlfriend due to alleged jealousy. According to police spokesperson Colonel Malesela Ledwaba, the assault occurred on Saturday, October 21st, at approximately 9 pm at a tavern called Boiza.
The 25-year-old victim was with her current partner when Chauke arrived, became enraged by her presence, and forcibly dragged her away. An altercation ensued when the victim's boyfriend attempted to intervene. Despite attempting to flee home, the victim was pursued by Chauke, who physically assaulted her and dragged her to his residence where the rape took place. The victim promptly reported the incident to the police, who investigated and transferred the case to the Mokopane Family Violence, Child Protection, and Sexual Offenses Unit. During the apprehension, Chauke resisted arrest, leading to the use of reasonable force by police officers before he was ultimately taken into custody. Chauke was found guilty of the charges and sentenced to 15 years for rape, two years for violating the Immigration Act, and one year for resisting arrest, resulting in a total of 18 years imprisonment. The Provincial Commissioner of police in Limpopo, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, expressed satisfaction with the court's decision, praising the investigating officer and the team for their tireless efforts in securing justice for the victim
