Northern Cape Police Spokesperson Sergio Kock says, “Today, Judge Mathebe Phatshoane reiterated that Giyani has to be removed from society and the sentences were given as follows: three life sentences for three charges of rape; 19 years imprisonment each for the other 11 charges of rape; 15-year imprisonment each for 12 charges of robbery with aggravated circumstances; 14 years for one charge of attempted robbery with aggravated circumstances; 5-year imprisonment each for six counts of kidnapping. The sentences will run concurrently with the three life sentences.”
