# State social worker Phumzile Sithole calls for direct imprisonment for convicted paedophile Iain Wares. She was testifying in pre-sentencing proceedings at the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court in Cape Town. Sithole says 87-year-old Wares, a former teacher in Scotland and South Africa, is unrepentant, denies his crimes and blames others for his conviction. Sithole stresses the long-term trauma inflicted on vulnerable children and the fact the abuse was premeditated, repeated at school and a violation of trust by a teacher. Final arguments will be heard on 23 October.
