The Pretoria high court, sitting in Palm Ridge, has sentenced serial rapist Daniel Molefe, 33, from Evaton to four life terms and an additional 25 years imprisonment for a string of violent attacks on women committed between 2019 and 2023.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana welcomed the sentence, describing it as a strong message to perpetrators of gender-based violence.
Molefes convictions are for four counts of rape, which attracted the life sentences, robbery with aggravating circumstances, assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and kidnapping.
