An alleged serial rapist is back in the
dock today.
Patrick Hlomane,
also known as Mthunzi Makhamba, is accused of attacking at least five women
near Rhodes Memorial in Cape Town.
He was arrested in
March. The prosecution believes there is substantial
evidence, including video footage and cell phone records,
linking Hlomane to a series of rapes near the University of Cape Town campus.
He is yet to be
charged for all five attacks, but does stand accused of raping and robbing a
woman near campus in November.
This was the first
attack reported.
The latest attack happened in
March, when a woman claimed she was threatened with a knife, forced
into bushes, raped and held captive for more than 24 hours.
