Lawyer: Give child rapist life

Pietermaritzburg - A 49-year-old Pietermaritzburg man convicted of raping six youths should be jailed for life, the KwaZulu-Natal High Court heard on Monday.

State prosecutor Prettygirl Ngcobo was addressing the court on the sentencing of Michael Hlongwa, who pleaded guilty to raping the youths, aged between nine and 12.

Judge Leona Theron has indicated that she intends passing sentence on Monday.

Hlongwa told the court that he was asked to counsel church congregants by a pastor in Newcastle.
In return, he was given free accommodation near the church, while his wife and two daughters remained in Pietermaritzburg.

Admitting to having sex with youths, he told the court he gave some of them R5 or R10. He gave one of them R50 and warned him not to tell anyone.

He admitted that he had previously served two years in jail on an indecent assault conviction.

FizpopMK says... Mazibuko must loose weight and stop talking nonsense, Zuma is a member of the ANC not the DA. It is us (The ANC) who will decide weather Zuma is or not fit to hold office in the term. For your information, Zuma had nothing to do with the organizing of the March to the Gallary, he never even spoke in the public gatherings that were organized to protest against the painting. We organized the march and we are not apologetic about it because we were not only defending Zuma but the dignity of black people and our culture. If Mazibuko is westernized, let that be her choice but we do not appreciate being subjects of ridicule and our cultural beliefs being criticized by people who do not even understand it. Zuma will respect the decisions of the ANC and stand for elections if he's asked to.\r\n\r\n\r\nHands off our president Read the article...
