Mr Patrick Mkhonto (35) is facing two counts of rape that took place in the area in the past five days.
His games came to light after the local police station received two rape cases with the same trends.
Upon investigation it was revealed that the suspect would call his victims and promise them jobs. He would then arrange a meeting in a bid take his victims to the bush and rape them.
