Known only as ‘Lion Mama’, the woman who attacked three men with a kitchen knife when she caught them raping her daughter, says that justice has been done after jail sentences were handed to the two survivors.

The judge in South Africa held back from handing out the maximum possible life sentences, instead sentencing the pair to 30 years in total. The serious knife injuries they received at the hands of the victim’s mother had already taught them a lesson, he said.
