A Braamfischerville taxi driver has been sentenced to three life terms and another 30 years for robbery, assault, and raping several women, The Star newspaper reported on Thursday.
Vuledzani Ramulifho lured women into his taxi in Roodepoort, west of Johannesburg, by pretending he would take them home.
He then pepper-sprayed their faces, robbed them, and sexually assaulted or raped them.
Judge Naren Pandya said in the High Court in Johannesburg: “How would you feel if someone raped your wife or mother?
“Would you call your mother, sister, or wife a bitch.”
He sentenced him to an effective jail term of 105 years — three life terms for three of the rape counts, 10 years on four other rape charges, 10 years for 10 counts of robbery, five years for 13 counts of rape, and five years for escaping from lawful custody. – Sapa
