Summary: The sexagenarian appellant was convicted by the Taung Regional Court of the North West Province on a charge of raping a 12 year old child. He was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. The magistrate immediately granted him leave to appeal against both the conviction and the sentence and he was released on bail pending the appeal. in 2014 the Northwest Division of the High Court dismissed his appeal against conviction and altered the sentence by suspending five years of the 15 year sentence. This appeal is against conviction, special leave having been granted by this court.
