Updated | By Mmangaliso Khumalo
Police in North West arrested a 39-year-old suspected serial rapist on Thursday.

The man had been on the run for the past two years before he was finally nabbed in Klipgat.
His arrest came after police received information about a man who was in possession of firearms and ammunition and looking for a potential buyer.
During the arrest the 39-year-old man was found in possession of a pistol.
“As part of investigation, the suspect led the police to his other place in Dubai Section, Mabopane, Gauteng, where an AK47 rifle with 33 rounds of ammunition, three magazines and 25 pistol ammunition were found hidden in a shack," says police spokesperson Amanda Funani.
“Following preliminary crime scene investigation, it came out that the man was a wanted alleged serial rapist who evaded the arrest for the past two years.
“Reportedly, the suspect targeted and raped women who walked home from taverns in the early hours in Klipgat. According to information, he would also rob his victims of their personal belongings.”
The 39-year-old is facing several charges of rape, house robbery, attempted murder and several counts of possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.
He is expected to appear in the Ga-Rankuwa Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
