A sedan taxi (iphela) driver who is in custody for allegedly robbing and raping a Zwelitsha passenger who had come to East London for a job interview in November, has now been linked to four similar incidents through his DNA.

Police today confirmed that Siyabonga Sloti, 28, of Scenery Park, will now face four additional counts of robbery and rape.

This after he had been linked last week to such crimes which took place in Berlin, near Duncan Village and two in Scenery Park, between 2015 and 2016.

 Sloti is currently languishing in jail for the November incident after he was denied bail in December.
