The Keetmanshoop Regional Court sentenced Johannes Gawa!nab to an effective 20 years of imprisonment for raping two minor boys.

Gawa!nab pleaded guilty to two charges of rape. 

In sentencing Gawa!nab, Divisional Magistrate Frans Anderson said the circumstances of the case highlight the never-ending abuse of children by adults.

In addition, he said society desperately relies on the courts to mete out appropriate sentences to perpetrators.
