Both could not even summon the strength to be here today. I had placed a great deal of trust in Nkanyiso,&#8221; she told News24.<\/p>\n<p>In his plea, Radebe told the court he had been digging a pit toilet for the deceased&#8217;s grandmother on the day of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>The court was informed that Radebe was a casual labourer and that Grade 7 as his highest academic qualification.<\/p>\n<p>He often conducted menial work for residents in Umthwalume and earned around R150 per day.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to going to the deceased&#8217;s home, he consumed a quart of beer and one glass of vodka, the court heard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I worked at the deceased&#8217;s home and the pick I was using broke. The deceased&#8217;s grandmother said she would ask her neighbour to lend her their pick. I asked the deceased&#8217;s grandmother to give me money to buy cigarettes while she spoke to her neighbour,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She gave me R10, and I went to the tuckshop. The deceased followed me. At the tuckshop, I bought cigarettes and matches, the deceased bought airtime for her mother and two packets of chips.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Radebe informed the court that after visiting the tuckshop, he asked the deceased to follow him, using another route, along a river and some bushes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She listened and followed me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While walking past the bushes, he grabbed the girl and raped her.<\/p>\n<p>He added:<\/p>\n<p>Radebe also said that afterwards, the deceased stood up and threatened to tell her grandmother.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I got scared that she would report me and decided to kill her. I grabbed her and dropped her to the ground. I proceeded to strangle her until she was lifeless.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Sentencing<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Judge Piet Bezuidenhout&#8217;s sentence, defence lawyer Amanda Hulley pleaded for mercy.<\/p>\n<p>She told the court Radebe was a first-time offender who often supported the deceased&#8217;s mother financially, despite the fact she was a child support grant recipient.<\/p>\n<p>Hulley told the court Radebe had grown up under impoverished circumstances as his father died when he was young, and his mother had been unemployed for most of her life.<\/p>\n<p>She added there was a chance Radebe might be rehabilitated in prison.<\/p>\n<p>But prosecutor Mbongeni Mthembu argued against a lenient sentence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The accused abused the trust relationship between him and the deceased. Instead of protecting her, he raped and killed her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mthembu said Radebe had committed &#8220;the most callous and heinous crime&#8221; and had killed the deceased &#8220;in the most barbaric manner by manual strangulation&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He called for a &#8220;strong sentence&#8221;, arguing it would deter perpetrators of gender-based violence and femicide.<\/p>\n<p>Bezuidenhout agreed with Mthembu.<\/p>\n<p>He told Radebe while it was commendable he had admitted to wrongdoing, there was nothing extraordinary about him which warranted a deviation from the prescribed minimum sentence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have perused the impact statement from the mother of the deceased and her grandmother, it&#8217;s clear that they were deeply hurt, and they may never heal from this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You showed the deceased no mercy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bezuidenhout found Radebe guilty of two counts of rape and murder.<\/p>\n<p>He said, in accordance with the law, Radebe would serve his three life terms concurrently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
