WTF AFRICA- 18 YR OLD RAPES 83 BECAUSE HIM DID FEEL FI DWEET
A TEENAGER who raped an 83-year-old granny has told a court that he “just felt like doing it”.
Sikhumbuzo Gumede, 18, of Mawuwini Village in Nkayi, was beginning a 15-year jail term on Wednesday after pleading guilty to the violent sex attack.
A Bulawayo court heard how the victim bravely tried to fight off Gumede, her screams finally attracting a passer-by whose arrival at the scene forced the teenager to flee.
Before passing sentence, magistrate Godwin Sengweni asked if Gumede had an explanation for his actions.
“I still don’t understand why I did it. I just felt like doing it,” he replied.
The magistrate sentenced Gumede to 20 years in jail, but conditionally suspended five years after crediting him for his guilty plea and the fact that he was a youthful offender.
The magistrate said: “What aggravates your actions is that you raped an 83-year-old woman and subjected her to a horrific experience.
“The court will suspended a portion of the sentence to allow you a chance to live a crime-free life after you are released from prison.”
Blessing Kudhlande, prosecuting, told the court that Gumede was walking home from Nkayi business centre just after 4PM on July 4 this month when he came across the victim walking in the opposite direction.
Gumede, the court heard, offered the victim a 2kg packet of sugar which he was carrying, but she had declined.
“Gumede blocked her way, grabbed her by the hand and dragged her into the bush,” Kudhlande told the court.
A few metres from the footpath, Gumede ordered the elderly woman to lie down, but she picked up a log and tried to strike him. He ducked and eventually overpowered her, the court heard.
During the attack, the court heard, Gumede threatened to kill her if she did not stop resisting and screaming.
“The victim bravely fought Gumede and told her she would rather die than be violated,” the prosecutor said.
The victim’s screams attracted a passer-by who came to her rescue. Gumede was arrested hours later.
