Minister Jeff Radebe commends the NPA and police for sterling job in ensuring the conviction of the so called "birthday rapist" of total of 122 charges ranging from rape, kidnapping and theft.
The Minister also commended the young ladies who had the courage to come forward when the image of the accused was flighted on t.v. As we celebrate Women's Month, Minister expressed satisfaction at our court's determination in ensuring justice for all women and children.
Minister has encouraged all victims not to suffer in silence as we have mechanisms to ensure rape victims are protected. This is justice manifestly seen to be done and we hope that he will receive a lengthy sentence that fits the crimes committed.
