The victim of a convicted rapist from the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has called on the Pretoria Magistrates Court in Gauteng to impose a life sentence .
Former soldier Leon Santos Conga was convicted of rape , attempted murder and infecting a South African Air Force (SAAF) sergeant with HIV.
Barry Bateman, from AfriForums Private Prosecution Unit, said the woman testified on Monday during sentencing arguments.
This marks the final time she will be called as a witness in a case that has dragged on for more than six years, Bateman said.
The Private Prosecution Unit has supported her throughout this difficult journey, but her quest for justice would never have materialised had it not been for our intervention, he said.
