Alleged serial rapist Sipho Phiri returned to the Benoni Magistrate’s Court on Monday, where he faces a long list of charges linked to attacks on women and young girls in Tembisa and surrounding areas.
Phiri is accused of raping at least 43 victims between 2018 and 2023, a case that has drawn significant public attention due to the scale and brutality of the allegations. Despite the serious charges against him, he maintains that he was unlawfully arrested and claims that police forced him into an identity parade.
He has pleaded not guilty to all counts.
