The Women and Men Against Child Abuse advocacy group has welcomed the rape conviction of ex-Grand Slam tennis champion, Bob Hewitt, by the High Court sitting in Palm Ridge on the East Rand.
 
Hewitt was found guilty of raping and sexually abusing three girls whom he coached in the 1980’s and the organisations’ Vincentia Dlamini-Ngobese believes this case will encourage raped women to report their cases.
 
Dlamini-Ngobese further says that for children who have not and were scared to come out, this case serves as hope to the country’s justice system.
