South Africa's Worst Rapist Hangs Himself Before Trial. by HezronLorraine(m): 8:00pm On Jul 25, 2013
A man suspected of being South Africa's worst
known 'serial rapist' has been found dead in his
prison cell hours before he was to go on trial on
charges that included sexually assaulting 34
children, prosecutors said on Thursday.
Sifiso Makhubo, 42, was facing a total of 122 charges
for murder, rape, kidnapping, robbery and attempted
murder by infecting his victims with HIV, the virus
that causes AIDS.
He was thought to have hanged himself with a
blanket in his prison cell and authorities were
investigating the circumstances of his death.
The horrific nature and breadth of the crimes
shocked South Africa, a country inured to some of the
world's highest levels of sexual violence.
In the year to April 2012, more than 64 000 sexual
offences, including rape, were reported among South
Africa's 50 million people. Of these, more than 25
000 were assaults on children.

In 2010, South Africa recorded 132.4 cases of
reported rape per 100 000 population, by far the
highest among countries that reported statistics to
the United Nations, compared to 27.3 in the United
States or 2.1 in Uganda. Reporting rates and
definitions of rape do, however, vary sharply from
country to country.
