Pietermaritzburg - A man has been sentenced to 22 years in jail by the Ladysmith Regional Court for raping and robbing a woman on her farm near Elandslaagte, KwaZulu-Natal police said on Tuesday.
Nkosingiphile Emmanuel Nkosi, 19, was sentenced on Monday for the crimes committed on 14 February last year, Major Thulani Zwane said.
Nkosi had gone to the farm and asked about renting a truck from the owners. The woman's husband was not home and she encouraged Nkosi to return the next day, Zwane said.
