Describing murderer, rapist and kidnapper William Kekana as "Satan incarnate", Judge Monica Leeuw in the Temba Circuit High Court on Tuesday sentenced him to six life sentences plus 60 years.
"He is the real reincarnation of the devil himself. I would say he is the devil personified," Leeuw said, staring at Kekana in the dock.
Leeuw, who handed down the sentence that will ultimately only make Kekana eligible for parole after 54 years, said that she, in her 27 years in the legal profession, has never encountered one so evil.
Calling him an "incorrigible rogue" who was not prepared to live according to the norms of society and labelling him a "menace to society", Leeuw said she had been surprised to hear he actually believed in God when he asked for God's forgiveness.
