Crime in SA | Alleged serial rapist opposed to televised trial

JOHANNESBURG - Alleged serial rapist Sipho Lucas Phiri is once again attempting to dodge the cameras.

His lawyer will be appealing a High Court judgment granting eNCA permission to broadcast his trial.

Phiri claims televising the trial will endanger his family.

He's accused of inflicting a reign of terror between 2018 and 2023, raping at least 37 women, some of them, just teenagers.

Arguments will be heard on Thursday.
