The Bothaville Regional Court has sentenced a 25-year-old man to life imprisonment following the horrific rape of his 46-year-old mother.
The incident occurred on 22 December 2024 in Kgotsong, Bothaville in the Free State. The victim visited her elders' home to introduce her new partner to the family.
However, a physical altercation ensued when her son confronted and chased the boyfriend away from the premises.
The victim followed her partner as he left, but was pursued by her son. He caught up with her, threw her to the ground, and raped her. Following the attack, the suspect further traumatized the victim by threatening her with violence should she report the matter to anyone.
Despite the threats, a case of rape was opened and the 25-year-old suspect was apprehended. The investigation was spearheaded by Sergeant Lehlohonolo Fonya of the Welkom Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit.
The meticulous investigative work of Sergeant Fonya, combined with the expert prosecution of Prosecutor Tshegofatso Lebitsa, led to a successful conviction and the Bothaville Regional Court sentenced the accused to life imprisonment for rape.
SAPS continues to urge victims of sexual violence to come forward and report these crimes, regardless of the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator.

Police investigations are continuing.
