A taxi driver who raped a commuter was sentenced to life imprisonment by the East London regional court on Thursday.
The 35-year-old Anda Majavu raped the then 22-year-old female commuter in October 2019.
The young woman was hitchhiking from Mdantsane to the East London CBD when Majavu picked her up along the way.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Anelisa Ngcakani said Majavu first dropped off another passenger before raping the victim.
