Uyinene rapist and murderer back in the dock - this time for decade-old attempted rape case
Luyanda Botha, previously convicted for the rape and murder of UCT student Uyinene Mrwetyana , faces court again for an attempted rape case from June 2014.
The man whose face was plastered on news websites the world over after he raped and killed University of Cape Town student Uyinene Mrwetyana in 2019 is back in the dock - this time for the attempted rape of a nursing student in June 2014. Nineteen-year-old Mrwetyana 's case became the poster image for the #AmINext movement, as the crime caused public outrage.
However, little did the public know that the man who had raped her, Luyanda Botha, had been accused of the attempted rape of the 21-year-old nursing college student six years before - a case that was eventually struck from the court roll.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
