“She managed to crawl to the road where she was assisted by a farmer who called an ambulance and the matter was reported to the police. Because she was struggling to speak, she managed to write on the piece of paper and gave a description of the suspect. This led to the arrest of Majoba on the same day.”
The court sentenced Majoba to 10 years in jail for attempted murder on Thursday. It also handed him two life sentences for rape, three years for kidnapping and 15 years for robbery. The sentences will run concurrently.
Provincial police commissioner Lt-Gen Baile Motswenyane welcomed the sentence.
“The sentencing came at the right time for gender-based violence perpetrators and will send a strong and clear message to want-to-be criminals that crime against women and children doesn't pay as justice will always prevail”, said Motswenyane.
