SELEBI-PHIKWE: Principal Magistrate Wanani Ngebani on Tuesday sentenced a 23-year-old Dintle Kgakego of Botshabelo to 10 years in jail for rape.

Kgakego was convicted for raping Diphimotswe Lekgetho who is also 23 years on November 3, 2015 in Botshabelo. When passing judgement, Ngebani explained to Kgakego that the court has put into consideration what he said in his defence when coming up with the sentence. 

Ngebani however said the accused had failed to provide exceptional extenuating circumstances that could convince the court to give him a lighter sentence. “In my view, the reasons you advanced to court were not that convincing,” he said. Ngebani said Kgakego is not a first time offender as he has previous convictions from six cases that were also brought before court.
