Thamo was convicted for the 2007 murder of his girlfriend, Sihle Dube. Her mutilated body parts were dug up from various shallow graves along the Tati riverbank, a month after she went missing from her rented house in Somerset where she had lived with Thamo. The discovery was made after the convict led the police to different spots where he had buried her partially burnt body parts, following his arrest a month after the killing.

Tadubane is appealing his death sentence after he was convicted for the murder of Tshokolo Ramokgau.

This year alone, CoA judges have commuted five death sentences  handed down by the high courts.
