"Thank you, Jesus. The Lord is great."
He arrived at court on Wednesday morning under heavy police guard. Throughout proceedings, he was shackled and handcuffed.Before passing sentence, Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng warned him that he was a substitute judge who was only reading out the sentencing Maluleke prepared before he died.However, Mokgoatlheng explained there was no way that the matter would restart.
"It is unprecedented in the criminal law. It is very, very rare that a substitute court is spared from reading records and arguments of the previous case before it could prepare an appropriate sentence. I am reading the actual report of Judge Maluleke. He was initially arrested on December 1, 2012, at Nancefield Hostel in Soweto, after being traced through a cellphone of one of the victims he had robbed earlier."One of the victims was raped in the presence of her five-year-old child. He invaded her home on two separate occasions in Pimville, forcing her to relocate to her parental home. The victim suffered a stroke due to failure of receiving trauma counselling after she was raped. She is disabled and lost her teaching job.
