A MAN from Silobela raped a 19 year old woman at knifepoint before declaring her as his new wife to his parents.
It is alleged that Edson Dube, 25, of Mbenge Village under Chief Malisa Silobela, intercepted the teenage who was on her way from the Linda shopping centre with her young sister.
Dube produced a knife and threatened to kill the two before rapping the victim once.
The armed rapist then dragged the teen to his father's home where he announced that he had brought a bride and was given a room for the night.
The woman fled from the room while Dube was fast asleep and rushed home to her parents who were looking for her leading to his arrest.
Dube pleaded guilty to rape and was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
