A Zimbabwean man Morris Shungu (31) was convicted and sentenced to four life terms and over 115 years imprisonment by High Court judge David Makhoba after he pleaded guilty to 16 charges ranging from rape and kidnapping to robbery and being an illegal immigrant.
Shungu admitted that between September 2015, and February 2016, he had kidnapped and raped five women after approaching them in the streets of Pretoria early in the morning and forcing them to accompany him to deserted places. He held his victims captive for hours, assaulted them, threatened to kill them and raped some up to nine times. His victims included a nurse, a security guard, a domestic worker and a veterinary student.
