S v Ntobela [2010] ZAECPEHC 66 (10 November 2010)
The court held that the sentence of life imprisonment was entirely proportionate to the crime committed, given the premeditated nature of the rape, the tender age of the complainant, and the severe psychological trauma inflicted. The appellant's lack of remorse and the circumstances of the offence did not present substantial and compelling reasons to depart from the prescribed minimum sentence. The sentencing court properly applied the principles set out in S v Malgas, and there was no basis for appellate interference.
