North West Provincial Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Baile Motswenyane commended Mmabatho Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS) for their hard work. Two people were sentenced to 10 and 15 years in separate rape cases by Mmabatho Magistrate’s Court recently.
Onalenna Surprise Seitsang (26) was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment after he raped a 20 year-old woman on last year in April. It was reported at the time of the incident that the victim was at a certain hotel when she went to the toilet. She was approached by the accused who raped her inside the toilet. Seitsang was arrested after the incident was reported to the police.
In another incident, a 22 year-old woman was from her aunt’s place on her way home when she met Ompolokile Motshegare (20) at about 7pm back in July last years. Motshegare dragged the victim to the nearby bushes and raped her. The rape case was opened and the suspect was arrested.
Motswenyane said the police will continue to work hard so that those who commit crimes are successfully prosecuted. She further said the fight against sexual offences gained another victory in the province.
