A 41-year-old scholar transport driver in Mamelodi, Pretoria, is sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of raping a nine-year-old girl. According to reports, the case is heard in the Pretoria Regional Court, where the sentencing takes place on Tuesday, 29 July 2026.
The girl is allegedly lured to the driver’s home using information involving her seven-year-old brother, who is reported to have played a role in bringing the girl to the man’s residence. After the assault, the driver reportedly gives money to the children, described in one account as R4 to buy food items such as chicken heads. The reports present these details as part of the circumstances described during the case.
Both outlets state that the court imposes a life sentence. The articles do not provide further details on appeals, other charges, or investigative findings beyond the core allegations, the involvement of the siblings, and the sentencing outcome.
