Two men have been slapped with hefty jail sentences after admitting to raping a 38-year-old woman in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).


Lindokuhle Mzimela, 25, and Khetha Prince Zulu, 19, appeared in the High Court in Pietermaritzburg this week and pleaded guilty to the charges of kidnapping, rape and murder.


According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), Mzimela and Zulu raped the 38-year-old woman on 1 December last year after the pair had been drinking alcohol at a local tavern in Ngwelezane.


“When that tavern closed, they decided to visit another one and met the woman and her companion on the way. They planned to rob them of their cell phones and Mzimela produced a knife.


“The man who was with the woman ran away, leaving her behind, ” KZN NPA spokesperson, Natasha Ramkisson-Kara, said in a statement.
