The Mpumalanga High Court in Mbombela is expected to sentence a 29-year-old woman for the murder of her boyfriend, who was also a police officer.
The court had earlier postponed pre-sentencing because of the outstanding social worker’s report. Zanele Mkhondo has pleaded guilty to shooting Mandlenkosi Thwala seven times while he was sleeping in his home in Pienaar, east of Mbombela, more than a year ago.
