The Vereeniging Circuit Court sitting at Palm Ridge Regional Court has sentenced Lebohang Mofiri, 33, to two life sentences and 114 years for multiple rapes and kidnappings.
The Evaton man was found guilty of four counts of rape, four counts of sexual offences, three counts of kidnapping, two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm and two counts of unlawful possession of ammunition.
Mofiri committed the crimes in the Vanderbjlpark and Evaton areas between 2014 and 2019.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana in November 2014, Mofiri robbed a couple while at a garage in Beverly Hills Phase 4 and raped the girlfriend.
“A year later, in November 2015, he approached two females while they were walking home in Evaton.”
“He threatened them with a firearm, forced them to walk with him until they reached Evaton Park, where he raped one of them twice and sexually violated the other,”
Mofiri was arrested in September 2019 and linked to the offences by DNA.
