The high court in Johannesburg will on Wednesday pass sentence on a man who escaped prison in December 2014 as the court was due to sentence him for a litany of crimes he committed in Soweto during July and December 2012. The judge at the time has since died but had prepared a detailed judgment.
Innocent Lungisani Mdlolo, who was nicknamed "One Man" and single-handedly terrorised a community in Soweto during this period, was found guilty of murder, rape and armed robbery in 2014.
Mdlolo escaped from custody at Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court on December 2 2014 after judge John Maluleka found him guilty of a number of crimes.
Maluleka died in August 2017, but he had prepared a typed judgment. When Mdlolo appears in court again on Wednesday, a new judge will read the judgment that had been prepared by Maluleka.
Mdlolo was arrested in December last year together with seven other people in connection with cash in transit heists in Katlehong and Meyerton in Gauteng. The Hawks said Mdlolo was arrested in Duduza, Nigel, with a revolver.
