Serial rapist, Thokozani Jiyane, was recently sentenced to eight life sentences plus 223 years for his crimes.
The Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg sentenced Thokozani Jiyane, nicknamed the Facebook rapist, on Thursday for the series of rapes in Boksburg between December 2019 and February 2020.
He would lure his victims on Facebook, pretending to be in the filming industry and offering them jobs.
The 23-year-old was found guilty of 17 counts of rape, 10 counts of robbery with aggravating circumstances, two counts of kidnapping and assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm and three counts of fraud.
What does this sentence actually mean, though? In this minisode, we analyze this sentence with help from BDK Attorneys.
