Senior state advocate Lenro Badenhorst, in aggravation of sentence, described Pangkaeker, as a monster who could not be tolerated in a civilised community. “It is submitted that the accused is a repetitive offender who indiscriminately targets young girls for sexual pleasure and therefore his moral blameworthiness is high. The accused should be punished with the most severe punishment possible for his reprehensible actions.
Pangkaeker is no stranger to the courts, especially regarding crimes involving children, according to Ntabazalila. “In 2001 he kidnapped and killed his child. The Bellville regional court convicted and sentenced him to 10 years' imprisonment for culpable homicide and kidnapping [abduction]. He was also convicted for the neglect of his child.”
