JOHANNESBURG – A Mozambican was sentenced Tuesday to 22 years in prison by the Gauteng High Court for human trafficking, rape and kidnapping of a 14-year-old girl.
While walking to school in 2017, the teenager was taken to convicted trafficker Angelo Mulambo, 30, on the pretext that he would get a babysitting job.
Mulambo then took the teenager to South Africa illegally to stay in a shack in Mamelodi, east of Pretoria, where she was raped twice.
Later he managed to escape and the neighbors helped her call the police, who arrested him and kept him in custody ever since.
NPA’s Lumka Mahanjana said: “Advocate Andrew Mphaga said that human trafficking was an international problem, therefore it was in the interest of society to have a peaceful community, free from sexual crimes and human trafficking. The minor remained at the Thuthuzela Care Center until she reconciled with her family in December 2019 ”.
