COUPLE CAUGHT HAVING SEX IN PARK, CONVICTED
NHLANGANO – Two lovers, lost in the moment, found a secluded spot in a park and fed their passion.
The couple was arrested and charged with indecency for having sexual intercourse in a public place. They both appeared before the Acting Magistrate Sifiso Ngwenya yesterday. Wandile Dlamini (24) of Mampondweni was arrested together with Luyanda Nxumalo (18) from Khiza. According to the charge sheet, on December 12, 2024, the couple was caught at Nhlangano Town, having sexual intercourse, in a public place. The court was further told that their act tended to deprave the morals of others and outraged the public’s sense of decency.
Actions
The couple made their first appearance in court last week, where they both pleaded guilty. They submitted they have no children and were sorry for their actions. They were remanded in custody and appeared yesterday for their sentencing. The acting magistrate told Nxumalo to take care of herself and told her she has a bright future. “I am a parent too; the law has tied our hands and we are unable to beat you. As a result, we are having spoilt children,” the acting magistrate said. The court further told them to change their attitude towards life. He advised Dlamini to go to Matsapha, where there is an area called KaGcogca, and can book for hours.
The court also encouraged him to alternatively go home and use a garage. The acting magistrate expressed hope that they will not do this again. The acting magistrate further submitted the time spent in custody will frighten them, so that when they want to commit such an offence again they will think about the time they spent in jail. The first offender was then sentenced to two years in prison with an option to pay a E2 000 fine and second offender recieved the same sentence
