## Resource

A former soccer coach in Mpumalanga has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for sexually abusing three young boys, convicted on nine counts including assault, exploitation, and grooming. The abuse occurred between September and October last year, with victims aged 7 to 18, who were lured to his home under pretenses of helping with chores or hanging out. The crimes came to light when two boys failed to return home, revealing the assaults to their parents. Despite denying knowledge of the victims and pleading not guilty, the court found their testimonies credible and consistent — detailing how the coach undressed them, committed acts, then rewarded them with money and treats. The judge condemned the betrayal of trust, noting the profound psychological damage inflicted. The convicted man is now barred from working with children or possessing a firearm and added to South Africa’s national sex offender registry.
