He was sentenced to 16 life sentences and 220 years in prison with the judge stipulating that he could not be considered for parole before serving at least 35 years in prison by which time he would be 80-years-old.^[2] Only one of his victims was an adult (a woman), the rest were all children.

The crimes were committed over a four-year period from 2004 to 2008 around the town of Modimolle in the Limpopo province.
