The Butterworth Regional Court in the Eastern Cape has sentenced a 31-year-old rapist, Ayanda Sotyato, to 25 years’ direct imprisonment for raping two women aged 41 and 46 years old in separate incidents in Dutywa in 2022.  

Police spokesperson, Siphokazi Mawisa, says the victims were taken to Thuthuzela Care Centre for DNA analysis, and the results linked the rapist to both cases.  

“The suspect, Ayanda Sotyato, who is 31 years old, was arrested on the 16 of September 2024 and charged in connection with both incidents.

The matter was later transferred to the Butterworth Regional Court, where the accused made his appearance on the 27 of February 2025. On the second of March 2026, the accused was convicted on both counts of rape.”
