Magistrate Jan Greyvensteyn sentenced Lerato Mahumapelo, 25, and Tlogelo Mooki, 23, both from Rocklands in Bloemfontein, for an incident that took place on December 16 2017.One of the accused, Gomolemo Kganare, failed to attend court during the trial and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
“On the day of the incident, the complainant, who was alone at the time, went outside at about 10pm to close the gate and she was forcefully taken by the three men to a house where they took turns raping her,” National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Phaladi Shuping said.The trial started in 2020 and the complainant gave her testimony and she was also cross-examined by the defence lawyer.
When the state closed its case, the defence brought an application for a discharge but the application was dismissed. “Rape has become a serious problem in Bloemfontein as shown by statistics and imposition of a light sentence will send a wrong message.
