Phoenix rape case is 'one too many'
The Open Door Crisis Centre says change needs to start with men for society to win the battle against sexual abuse of women and children.
The Pinetown-based organisation's been reacting to the conviction and sentencing of a 30-year-old Phoenix man who raped his mother twice.
The Verulam Magistrate's Court this week sentenced the man to 22 years imprisonment for the rapes - which he committed in 2015 and 2016 in the home he shared with his mother.

The woman reported her son to the police and he was arrested.
Open Door Crisis Centre Director, Thora Mansfield says centres are also needed to rehabilitate convicted rapists.
