A man found guilty of raping his sister was sentenced to 20 years in jail by the Eshowe Regional Court on Monday, KwaZulu-Natal police said.

The 21-year-old man raped his three-year-old sister in December 2011, Captain Thulani Zwane said.

The girl reported the matter and a case was opened at the Eshowe police station.

“He appeared several times in court until he pleaded guilty of raping his sister and convicted,” said Zwane. – Sapa
