A group of vigilantes have been sentenced to lengthy imprisonment terms for the murder of six men.
The six men were killed in 2014 on a farm in Joostenbergvlakte, Kraaifontein.
The ringleader was jailed after entering into a plea agreement with the State in 2017.
Zola Gayiya, Emanuel Barnes, Sandile Ngxabela, Sakhele Ngxabela, Lulama Dunga and Mhlanganisi Mljanjeni were kidnapped in Wallacedene, Kraaifontein.
"The suspects, aged between 25 and 56, stoned, stabbed and sjambokked the victims after suspecting [that they were] responsible for the death of a security guard," according to police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk.
On Wednesday, Judge Chantal Fortuin sentenced them after they were found guilty of kidnapping and murder.
