The Worcester Regional Court has sentenced a man to three life sentences and 15 years' direct imprisonment for raping his own daughter and two stepdaughters.
 
The court ordered the sentences to run concurrently, effectively sentencing him to life imprisonment.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said the sexual assaults happened over a period of 16 years between 2005 and 2021.
 
NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila: "The court has declared unfit to possess a firearm and ordered his name to be entered into the National Register for Sex Offenders. The NPA welcomes this sentence as it is another indicator of the State’s efforts to fight GBV and the abuse of the most vulnerable in our society."
