'NMU Rapist' will plead guilty and abandons bid for bail


The Port Elizabeth man charged with the rape of two Nelson Mandela University students has abandoned a bid for bail and also intends to plead guilty.

The 29-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday following Monday night's attack on the University's Second Avenue campus.

He faces additional charges of robbery and house-breaking.

The suspect has a previous conviction for robbery with aggravating circumstances.

He cannot be identified yet until he pleads in court on Monday.

Meanwhile, students and members of the public held a protest outside the court on Friday against gender violence.
