Elhadji Adama Kebe stabbed Sibongile Zenzile, 28, more than 10 times in the Kempton Park flat they shared on April 25 2019. He also cut off her head and kept it in their fridge.Kebe pleaded guilty in March to killing Zenzile.
In passing sentence on Tuesday, judge Avrielle Maier-Frawley said at first blush the appropriate sentence seemed to be life imprisonment for the way Kebe killed Zenzile. “The question the court needs to ask itself is whether life sentence is the only sentence to be imposed due to the manner in which the deceased was killed.”
Maier-Frawley said the more she had pondered the issue of sentence, she felt an injustice would be done if the minimum prescribed sentence of life imprisonment was imposed. "[Kebe] did not seek to justify his actions by pleading self-defence and did not challenge the evidence of the state where it differed with his,” said Maier-Frawley.“He acknowledged he was at fault. That in my view is a first step on the long road to rehabilitation.”
cci_network That sentence is a joke
Outrageous!!! How can it not be life
This is crazy
Only 23 years? We know 23 years is literally 7.6 years (30%) on good behaviour and will be granted parole. This is bullshit. I remember this story, this Nigerian went on opening his business following day and was day as normal and the head of this woman was in a fridge!!!!!!
RonaldLamola You call that justice😰Our justice system is a f*** joke really. Where was mercy when ngwana motho a ne a bolawa.Shit like that make ppl take the law into their own hands, we have no confidence in our justice system
South African criminal law is too lenient. In another country a death sentenced would've have been certain for what he did.
What kind of fuckery is this?😲
Elhadji Adama Kebe this is his name
Foreigners is going to be the end of South African women 😭😭😭
I wonder why the Court departed from imposing the prescribed sentence
You cannot be serious.... You cannot be serious.... I can't stress this enough. The Justice System is a joke. What reasons could possibly pardon the heinous deeds of this man? A death Sentence was fit for him, but we don't have that. A life sentence should have done Justice.
Nonsense.
Normalise mentioning nationality....he doesn't look South African
What is to decapitate?
This is madness and a total joke!South Africa have flimsy and lenient laws on such savages!
This is ridiculous.
Only 23 there's no justice in South Africa
Total madness
