The Gauteng High Court sitting in Palm Ridge has sentenced Ekurhuleni serial rapist,  Nkosinathi Phakathi to 42 life sentences for rape offences he committed between 2012 and 2021. Phakathi was also slapped with 791 years for rape, kidnapping, theft, assault and compelling minors to witness a sexual act. Phakathi committed his brutal acts in the Ekurhuleni area between 2012 and 2021. He preyed mostly on school-going children, with the youngest victim being a 9-years-old. Ahead of his sentencing, my colleague Chriselda Lewis, spoke to one of Phakathi's victims, who was overcome with emotions as she waited to hear Phakathi's sentence.
