Two men, who strangled their friend to death and sold his car for brandy, were convicted of murder.
A court in Mpumalanga sentenced them to 20 years for murder, and 10 for robbery.
Because they had showed remorse and were first-time offenders, the sentences will run concurrently.
A night at a pub in Mpumalanga with friends almost two years ago turned to horror for 38-year-old Lucky Bongani Kutumela.
Kutumela had been with Zakhele Sihlangu, 32, and Sibusiso Frans Mzangwa, 34, at the pub until late one night in May 2019.
They all went home in Kutumela s car but he was told to stop the car as they needed to relieve themselves.
