More charges are expected to be added to the charge sheet of a suspended Bolt driver, in South Africa accused of rape, after more complainants came forward.

The S/Africa National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane told the media outside the Randburg Magistrate's Court on Tuesday four other charges were expected to be added to his charge sheet.

The suspect, a 25-year-old male who cannot be named at this stage, made a brief appearance in court on Tuesday, March 8, 2022.
He currently faces two counts of rape, two of kidnapping and two of robbery.

According to Mjonondwane, the charges would rise to 10 counts when the anticipated kidnapping and rape charges were added.

Bolt South Africa confirmed to News24 the suspect was a registered driver on the e-hailing app.
Taylor said Bolt had looked at the driver's profile, and there have been no similar complaints or referrals by passengers about him.

On Monday, Gauteng police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Mavela Masondo told News24 the suspended Bolt driver might be linked to other cases of rape where the modus operandi was the same.

The case will be back in court today; 15th March.
