- Judge Kate Pillay of the Pietermaritzburg count sentenced Jabulani Ngubane (36), to 20 years in prison. She refuted his testimony where he claimed he had “accidentally” fired the two fatal shots that struck the farmer in the head. He stole the farmers firearm, a telescope and handcuffs.
- Anandlal’s ex-wife, Sudashna Anandlal, told The Witness after sentencing that despite the judge’s remarks she does not feel that justice has been done. “As far as I am concerned, the only justice would have been the death penalty,” she said.
