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.
