A convicted rapist who was on parole has been sentenced to 22 years imprisonment for raping a woman he accused of owing him money.
Frederick Cloete, 32, was sentenced at the Springbok Regional Court for raping the woman who had visited his mother on September 8 in 2021.
“The complainant, the mother of the accused, and some other friends, together with the accused and his friend were sitting and consuming alcohol.
“While they were chatting, the accused informed his friend that he was going to do something to the complainant because she owed him money,” National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson in the Northern Cape division, Mojalefa Senokoatsane said.
Cloete alleged that while he was in prison, the woman was supposed to sell dagga on his behalf. She was supposed to get the dagga, sell it, and bring the proceeds of the sale to him, which she did not do.
“It is further alleged that later in the evening the accused and his friend decided to go and buy more liquor. The complainant asked to walk with them because they would be walking in the same direction where she was residing, as she wished to go home.
The next day the matter was reported, and Cloete was arrested.
