A 47-year-old North West man who raped a woman just five days after he was released on parole for another rape case has been handed a 20-year sentence.
On Tuesday, Basimane William Sebata appeared in the Rustenburg Magistrate's Court where he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for robbery with aggravation which will run concurrently with the rape sentence of 20 years imprisonment.
Myburgh said evidence heard in court indicated that the victim was approached by Sebata, who was unknown to her. When the ambulance arrived, the victim, who had sustained serious head injuries, was rushed to the hospital, said Myburgh.According to Myburgh, police located Sebata, not far from the scene with the help of two witnesses. He was found wearing a t-shirt stained with blood."Furthermore, the victim's belongings that included her cellular phone and cash were found in possession of Sebata," he said.
Kwena further thanked the two men who, without thinking of their own safety, rushed to aid a woman in distress and by doing so, saved her life.
