Each time I write about a horrific story, I think it can't get any worse, well it can....
Home was torture chamber for three
It was his secret lair: boarded-up windows, padlocked doors and dark, dingy rooms with urine-stained floors.
In it, he held hostage two generations of his family: his 30-year-old mentally ill daughter, her 17-year-old sister and his 15-year-old granddaughter.
And there he beat them on their backs with a sjambok, threatened to kill them with his gun, starved them for days and fed them only bread and water.
To top it off, he molested them, repeatedly – at least according to a social worker.
The house is in Forest Hill, southern Joburg. The man cannot be named as this would reveal the identities of his daughters and granddaughter.
He is believed to be a former policeman and a sangoma. He works from home as a handyman and builder.
The 51-year-old was arrested on December 3 after police caught him in bed with his granddaughter. They were both half-naked.
