Life sentence for Inanda rapist
A KwaZulu Natal man's
begun serving a life sentence for rape.
The Ntuzuma Regional
Court found 29-year-old Bonisile Cele guilty of attacking a woman at his Inanda
home last year.
Prosecutors say the woman says there was another attacker who's known to Cele.
Spokesperson for the NPA in KZN Natasha Kara says the man's still on the run.
"Cele’s co-conspirator assaulted the complainant, and they took her to his home. There they raped her. She managed to escape and went to the police. She was taken to the Phoenix Thuthuzela Care Centre, where she received medical and psycho-social assistance.

"The men were tracked by police two months later. While Cele was arrested, his co-conspirator escaped and is still to be traced.
"Cele was sentenced accordingly, and the court declared him unfit to possess a firearm."
