It is not every day that the general public gets to hear about instances where technology was used to investigate a crime and a perpetrator was arrested.
The eMalahleni Regional Court has sentenced a serial rapist to 45 years imprisonment, and it was all thanks to an arrested following an IMEI number being tracked.
The court heard that from November to December 2018 Mbuyeleni Mbadamane (38) accosted three women who were walking from the Phola off-ramp on N12, towards the Phola location on different occasions. He attacked them with a knife, raped them and robbed one of them of her cellphones and money.
