Sanele Madlala, 16, was convicted of raping a 27-year-old woman on January 1 this year, Captain Thulani Zwane said.
The woman was on her way to work around 6.30am when Madlala approached her, threatened her with a knife and forced her into nearby bushes where he repeatedly raped her.
A case was opened at the Inchanga police station and Madlala later arrested.
He was sentenced on Thursday. – Sapa
