A COUNCILLOR in Tsholotsho is establishing a reputation for hunting down fugitive rapists and has once again been instrumental in the arrest of a man who allegedly raped a granny, 69.
Ward 16 Councillor Patrick Ngwenya last week tracked down Norman Ziwabe, 23, of Shaba Village under Chief Gampu to a village about 20 km from a homestead where he allegedly raped the elderly woman on Tuesday last week.
Ngwenya took two days to locate the fugitive at Mathe business centre.
Clr Ngwenya said he was pleased to have assisted in accounting for yet another rapist.
He said as a councillor and a community leader, whose role is to protect people, he has always been against abusers.
A police source on Friday confirmed that Ziwabe was being held at Tsholotsho Police Station.
