“On further investigation, it was learnt he had assaulted and raped another girl earlier in the day. Many other girls had reported to have been raped by the suspect.
“We are hoping to link him to other rape cases reported in Duduza and are urging other victims who may have been sexually violated to come forward and report those cases so they can be investigated thoroughly.
“The suspect will appear in the Nigel Magistrate’s Court soon,” he added
