The ANCWL welcomes the guilty verdict by Judge Sita Kolbe on 33 charges
against the Sunday Rapist, Jocobus Steyn. The man is a monster who has no
place in society after ruining so many young lives. He preyed on
vulnerable young girls with no remorse for the impact he had on their lives and the
ANCWL believe if he was not apprehended he would have continued on his
sadistic spree. His pattern indicated he was a serial rapist and was well
on his way to becoming a serial killer as his fetish was transforming into
something even more sinister with the murder of 16-year-old Louise de
Waal.



The ANCWL would like to commend the families of the victims for the
courage they showed throughout the trail, but more especially those victims who
testified against Steyn. We would also like to commend the excellent work
of police and prosecutors who have given South Africans faith in the laws
and justice system of the country with this conviction.



The ANCWL believe this man is a danger to all young women and girls in
society and with that we are calling for the harshest sentence the law
will allow. This monster must rot in jail for his actions and we hope this
conviction will bring some peace of mind to the victims and to the
families who have lost loved ones. The world was Lousie de Waal and Lezaan Farmer’s
oyster and Steyn took away every potential opportunity they had to live a
full and prosperous life, and for that he must pay with his life behind
bars.
