**SayPro After another nine months of hearings and further delay tactics, Joshua was convicted on 18 February 2019 and sentenced to life imprisonment. This result would not have been possible without the extraordinary strength, courage and determination shown by Mantwa and her friends who risked their own safety to fight for justice. When reflecting on her case, Mantwa expressed “I am so thankful to those who fought so hard for me” (referring to the support she received from Diepsloot Youth Project, her friends who had testified, and the excellent work done by the State prosecutor in this case). And now, a man who thought he was untouchable, will remain behind bars, thus ending his reign of terror on women in the Diepsloot community.

Nine months of hearings and further delay tactics have finally come to an end. Joshua was convicted on 18 February 2019 and sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a minor girl in 2018.

Mantwa is such a friend who has been by her side through thick and thin. They were childhood friends who grew up together in Diepsloot and went through many ups and downs in life until they both settled down in Johannesburg.
