Afrikaner youth, 14, forced to watch at gunpoint while convicted rapist Simiyoni Ndlovu raped his mother during armed attack at Boekenhoutkloof smallholding, Pretoria: on 6 December 2008 -- Found guilty SIX YEARS LATER: Simiyoni Ndlovu and Jacob Molubi. (It's unknown why the trial took so long before reaching sentencing procedure.)
TESTIMONY at PRETORIA REGIONAL COURT OCT 272 014:
"He (an Afrikaner farm boy) was 14 years old. His hands were tied behind his back. One attacker pointed his airgun at his head and threatened to hit him if he did NOT watch while his mom was being raped next to him on the bed... in his bedroom. "He was forced to watch how Simiyoni Ndlovu raped his mother. Six years later her son still blames himself for not being able to protect his mother. "He still experiences anger and helplessness because of his inability to intervene," stated a report handed in before sentencing starts at the Pretoria regional court at the convicted man's pre-sentencing procedures.
"The son still experiences overwhelming fear because of the continuous physical violence against him and his mother and because he was waiting for the attackers to kill them'. Ndlovu and Jacob Molubi were found guilty earlier of kidnapping, armed robbery, and a sexual offence for forcing the child to watch the rape of his mother. Ndlovu was also found guilty of rape and Molubi for owning an illegal firearm. The attack took place on 10 December 2008 at 07h00 when
a group of black males, one with a firearm, jumped across the fence of the unnamed Afrikaner family's smallholding in Boekenhoutkloof.
The youth's hands were tied behind his back and whipped across his back with an electric cord. The mother 41, was beaten with fists and forced to open their safe at gunpoint. Then the attackers took the child and the mother to his bedroom. "One threw my mother down on my bed. I sat on the bed: one pointed his knife at my mother and ordered her to 'open her legs'. Then he called another attacker over and said that 'if the child what he (Ndlovu) was doing, they have to hit the youth. Then they pointed the airgun at me,' the youth testified. After the rape-ordeal, the attackers locked the mother and child in the bathroom. Then the attackers assaulted a farm worker who was playing with his baby-daughter several hundred metres away from the farmhouse.
Public prosecutor Frenus Zietsman said this family's entire life was destroyed. "They suffered such a tremendous trauma that they can no longer function normally. The mother lives in constant fear and has three stomach-ulcers. She suffers severe depression. She cannot handle the trauma of the rape especially because it happened in front of her child,' said Zietsman.
The child failed his school-exams that year because of the trauma - and later he stopped going to school altogether and never matriculated. His entire future was destroyed that day." The case was postponed for sentencing.
