A 46-year-old Inanda man is to spend the rest of his life behind bars for the rape of his stepdaughter.
He was sentenced by the Ntuzuma Regional Court.
The court heard that the girl, who was 10 when she was attacked, lived with her mother and her stepfather.

The NPA's Natasha Kara says the child garnered enough strength to report the matter when she was 12.
"The incident eventually came to light when the child confided with her school friend who then told a school teacher."
"The NPA welcomed this successful prosecution. The accused was in a position of trust, yet he chose to be the abuser of the child rather than her protector. We hope this sentence serves as a deterrent to the like-minded individuals."
