The survivor was attacked at knife point in Inanda, north of Durban.


Officials say she followed the man to a nearby tavern where she found out his name and where he lived, before going to the police with the information.

The NPA's Natasha Kara says a DNA test linked Themba Ngobeni to another rape case.


He was last week slapped with three life terms and an additional 15 years by the Ntuzuma Regional Court.


"One complainant said she has not recovered from the rape and lives in fear Ngobeni might return. She had to give up her job of fear of being in public. The other woman said is still in disbelief of what had happened."
