In the Legal Junction segment, Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi is closing the show with the only Radio Lawyer, Mr. Pholoso Seakamela, and they are looking at the Cwecwe Case, A 7-year-old girl, Cwecwe, who was repeatedly raped on school grounds in Matatiele, Eastern Cape, sparking national outrage. Nationwide marches demanded justice, highlighting systemic failures in protecting children from gender-based violence.

Omotoso received a 12-year prison term in 2022, but critics argued it was too lenient given the severity of his crimes. What does the law say?
