Four other suspects still not caught

A man was jailed for life by the Tzaneen Regional Court on Tuesday for raping a 15-year-old girl, Limpopo police said.

Delco Lebea, 21, was one of five men who raped the teenager on August 8 last year at a compound in Bolobedu near Tzaneeen, said Lt-Col Mohale Ramatseba.  

The other four men were still being sought.  

Limpopo police commissioner Lt-Gen Simon Mpembe lauded the child protection unit in Tzaneen for its efforts in bringing the rapist to justice.
