A 21-year-old man has pleaded not guilty in the Cape High Court yesterday on charges of rape, assault and theft.

It is alleged that the man raped two pensioners in November three years ago.

Joudie Windvogel pleaded not guilty to two charges of rape, two housing breaking incidents and two of robbery with aggravating circumstances.

Windvogel according to the Cape Argus broke into the 71-year-old woman’s house. His DNA according to court reports matched to the woman.

It is believed he then broke into a 72-year-old woman’s house five days later in Bredaarsdorp.

Windvogel says he was at home when the second incident took place.

The trial will proceed soon.
