Pretoria - Jan Mafa has been sentenced to 25 years in prison by the Mpumalanga High Court, sitting in Middleburg, for brutally stabbing his girlfriend to death in front of her two small children.
Judge HF Brauckmann said was it not for the fact that Mafa had a clean record for 35 years, the crimes would have justified a life sentence.
The judge said in Mpumalanga, it seemed that more women were killed at the hands of their partners than by Covid-19.
“It is undeniable that we are experiencing high levels of violent crime and in particular with reference to this case, a violent crime against a women.

A Mpumalanga man has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of the mother of his four children.
Lucky Alfred Mhlanga, 34, appeared in the Mpumalanga High Court, which was sitting in Breyten, on Thursday, where he was sentenced for the February 2020 murder of Zinhle Happiness Nkabinde, 28, after he pleaded guilty on Wednesday exactly a year after Nkabinde was reported missing.
Her body was discovered in bush on a farm near Mahamba five days after the domestic worker had been reported missing when she did not show up for work. The court heard how Nkabinde was physically abused by Mhlanga repeatedly to a point where she sought solace from authorities by applying for a protection order against the violent father of her children.
