A 29 year-old South African woman has been sentenced to 12 years in jail after she was convicted of the rape of a 13 year-old boy.
Thembakazi Dyamani, from Gqeberha, former Port Elizabeth, had pleaded guilty to the crime that took place in June 2020. She told the court that she was too drunk that day to remember what happened.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), on June 4, last year, the boy and his friend had accompanied Dyamani to a relative of hers. During the night, Dyamani started playing with the 13-year-old’s private parts. “The boy tried to remove her hand but she instead inserted his penis into her vagina and had sex with him. The following day the boy told his friend what happened and the friend advised him to report the matter to his parents,” the NPA said.
