SERIAL rapist Philip Mathonsi (36) was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment by the Boschfontein Regional Court in Mpumalanga on Thursday, 6 May.
The court heard how the residents, more especially women of Marlothpark near Komatipoort, lived in fear as Mathonsi reportedly robbed and raped them.
These incidents were recorded between the period of 2016 and 2017. Mathonsi would normally wait until it was dark before preying on his victims.
It is said that on 11 September 2016, Mathonsi broke into a house in Marloth Park where he attacked and raped a 63-year-old gogo and then fled.
Thanks to a newly introduced set of laws, teachers in Mzansi who commit certain acts of gross misconduct will never be allowed to work in a school again.
