Mpumalanga serial rapist handed four life sentences

Serial rapist Given Mnisi was handed four life sentences by the Mpumalanga Division of the High Court in Mbombela on Monday May 13.

On March 30, 2011, at about 20:00, a 20-year-old woman was returning from buying bread at a spaza shop when Mnisi suddenly appeared, grabbed her by the neck, pulled out a firearm and threatened to kill her. Mnisi told her he had already killed other women who did not co-operate with him. He then stabbed her elbows with a knife and dragged her to some nearby bushes where he raped her.

On November 2, 2013, Mnisi raped a 15-year-old girl in Naas near Tonga. The girl was sleeping at home when she was attacked by Mnisi and an accomplice. The two men broke into the house and forcefully dragged the 15-year-old outside into an unfinished house. The accomplice is said to have left before Mnisi raped her. There was no further information about the accomplice in the press statement.

After changing the clothes, Mnisi offered her some liquid substance to drink before he took her documents. The girl passed out and later awoke to Mnisi raping her. After the incident, she went to report the rape to the Primrose SAPS.
