25 years for man who took women on taxi terror rides

Mogamat Lottering denied the incidents when he appeared in Cape Town Regional Court before Magistrate Wilma van der Merwe, who rejected his claim of innocence. A report on the News24 site says, one of his three victims, Lorraine Pindela, told the court the shock of her ordeal in July last year caused her to menstruate in the taxi, and that she was thrown out of the moving vehicle when she started to vomit. She had boarded the taxi at the V&A Waterfront, about 17:00, after buying a gift for her mother. Her ordeal lasted about five hours. The other victims were Bronwyn Petersen and Nervina Pillay. Prosecutor Warda Steyn told the court the three women had suffered physical and emotional harm. She said Lottering had preyed on defenceless women. Full report on the News24 site
