Married mistress' murderer gets 20-year jail term

Tshepo Matlhape will serve his two-decade jail term following his conviction for the murder of Kebalepile Motlanye on November 6, 2016, in Tutume in an event which left the Magapatona community shocked.

Passing the sentence, Moroka said Matlhape’s actions cannot be justified under any circumstances adding that there were, however, exceptional extenuating circumstances that warranted the court not to pass the ultimate sentence of death.
