The court found him guilty of all 11 charges, shedding light on a chilling reign of terror that plagued the Siyabuswa area from 2012 to 2020.
Mgidi’s disturbing spree began when he was just a minor, leading to his initial arrest in 2012.
He was released under parental supervision, allowing him to continue his heinous acts.
His crimes halted when a courageous victim identified him to the police in 2020.
He was linked to all 11 rape cases through DNA. This breakthrough played a crucial role in securing the conviction and ensuring justice for the victims.
The matter was postponed to June 13 for pre-sentencing.
