Nicolus Hendry Mhlongo, 25, and Reginald Dibakoane, 26, were sentenced by the Mpumalanga high court on Friday.
Dibakoane was sentenced to two life terms and 48 years' imprisonment after being convicted on two counts of rape, two counts of robbery with aggravating circumstances, two counts of housebreaking, two counts of kidnapping, theft and malicious damage to property, Nyuswa said.“These crimes were committed during the period of March 2012 to March 2016 in Hazyview. The pair would target private homes in the residential suburbs of Hazyview, break in and commit theft in the houses.
The pair, according to the NPA, demanded car keys and stole three cellphones, two laptops, bank cards and fled the scene with the victims' vehicle. “In the second outstanding case, Mhlongo and Dibakoane went to the house of the victims in Hazyview and broke the door. They fled the scene after they were interrupted by the occupant of an unfinished building in the same premises. The same night, they returned and found the two victims busy fixing the broken door.
