Johannesburg – An alleged serial rapist has been arrested in Burgersfort, Limpopo police said on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old man was taken into custody on Wednesday after he was linked to the rapes of seven women by DNA, police spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi said.

The rapes were committed by someone who lay waiting in the bush at Burgersfort and Steelpoort for his victims.

The latest victims were a 14-year-old girl and a 55-year-old woman.

The man will appear in the Lydenburg Regional Court on Thursday.
