Some accused are also facing charges of attempted murder and sexual exploitation.
KZN police spokesperson Nqobile Gwala says they have secured 26 convictions, which include nine life sentences.
"Many cases are still awaiting trial in court which will result in more suspects being charged and sentenced for their crimes."

"The fight against abuse of children and women is a 365-day commitment that requires all of us to act against abuse in our province.
