A Serial Rapist
On Th e L o o s e
By: Mahlatse Makhafola
It is a scary time for women in the country with a serial
rapist on the loose. A man linked to 58 rape cases since
2012 and who could be South Africa's worst serial
rapist on record is on the run. He was sentenced to 12
life terms plus 706 years in March last year.
The man is in his mid 20’s, black, short to medium
height and has bows legs. The cases have been report-
ed in the East Rand more specifically Daveyton,Putfon-
tein,Etwatwa and Crystal Park. He has a prominent scar
on the left cheek. Gauteng police have launched a man-
hunt for the suspect operating in Ekurleni.
Gauteng spokesman captain Mavela Masondo said the
suspect was linked to cases because of the modus ope-
randi he mainly employed to attack his victims. “We
thought we were dealing with isolated incidents, but we
believe otherwise now based on the statements we
have.” Masondo said.
