'The serial rapist was an awaiting-trial prisoner on eight rape cases committed at Cleveland, Jeppe, Hillbrow, Johannesburg Central and Booysens.'
Sibusiso Khuzwayo fled from the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on April 29, said Col Lungelo Dlamini.
"The serial rapist was an awaiting-trial prisoner on eight rape cases committed at Cleveland, Jeppe, Hillbrow, Johannesburg Central and Booysens," said Dlamini. "He allegedly overpowered court orderlies before he escaped out of the court building," he added. At the time of his escape, Khuzwayo was in court as arguments were to be presented in his case. All witnesses had already testified.
"He is considered dangerous and anyone who sees him should contact the investigating officer or the nearest police station," Dlamini added.
