The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in the Western Cape has proposed a life sentence as the penalty for each rape case Lawrence Gagu committed.

NPA spokesman Eric Ntabazalila said the State should record Gagu’s name in the National Register for Sex Offenders.

The shamed teacher will be sentenced on Wednesday, after being found guilty of raping seven girls between 2009 and 2010.

He conned the girls to go with him to his shack after giving them dance lessons.
