Alleged Tzaneen rapist to appear in court

POLOKWANE  - For seven long years, an alleged serial rapist managed to evade capture until his arrest in Tzaneen last week.

During his years-long campaign of terror, he’s left a trail of trauma dating back to 2015.

The 33-year-old suspect will appear in the Bolobedu magistrate's court on Tuesday.

He currently faces charges of rape and robbery.

But police aren’t ruling out the possibility of further charges, with one victim having been attacked with a machete.
