Spokesperson Henry Mamothame detailed Thabang Gordon Moloi’s acts in the following incident, “On the night of July 10, 2016, at Ikageng near Potchefstroom, Moloi kidnapped an adult female who he met on the street and dragged her to a nearby house and raped her. In a separate incident that took place on the night of August 14, 2017, Moloi, together with an accomplice known as Rodger, met a couple on the street and started assaulting the boyfriend with stones on the head and wielding their knives. They then dragged the lady to the next street and took turns to rape her.”
On a separate incident which happened on the 3rd of December 2017, Moloi and Rodger kidnapped three women at knifepoint, took them to an isolated location, where they tied them up with shoelaces and raped one of them while recording the rape ordeal. They also robbed the victims of money before fleeing the scene.
