As we near the end of Women’s Month, the court made it clear that it will not tolerate femicide when it sentenced a Mabopane man to life imprisonment for slitting his former girlfriend’s throat.

Pretoria -

The judge said Jim Dipugiso Phago, 35, deserved nothing less than the ultimate sentence. He could find no substantial and compelling circumstances to impose a lesser sentence than the maximum of life behind bars. . Phago, known as Gregory, murdered his ex-girlfriend on May 25, 2018. She had ended their relationship but on that day Phago fetched her from work at the court.
