Vilakazi v S - 130 KB
 

The SCA today dismissed an appeal against a conviction and sentence for rape. The appellant was convicted on 19 June 2006, by the Bethal Regional Court, Mpumalanga, and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment.

An appeal against convicted and sentence to the North Gauteng High Court was dismissed on 7 August 2008.

The SCA found that the conviction was justified by the evidence and that the 10 years' imprisonment imposed was an appropriate sentence.
