Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The Pretoria High Court sentenced two men, who shot and killed an ANC member in 2013, to life imprisonment.<\/p>\n

Bongani Enock Masilela, 31, and Tau David Mokhali, 33, killed Gladwin Khaiyane nine years ago.<\/p>\n

According to National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana, Khaiyane and his girlfriend were driving to Johannesburg when their vehicle broke down on the R59 in Meyerton.<\/p>\n

While Khaiyane’s friend, who had come to assist, was trying to fix the car, Masilela, Mokhali and their three co-accused (who were later acquitted in the matter) appeared.<\/p>\n

Five pupils killed as truck smashes through Potchefstroom school fence<\/p>\n

“They [suspects] told them [victims] to lie down and fired shots at them. The deceased [Khaiyane] was shot and died on the scene,” Mahanjana said.<\/p>\n

“The men proceeded to rob the girlfriend, the deceased, and his friend of their belongings. Among other things that were taken was a car, which was later recovered at Sicelo, in Meyerton, close to Masilela’s house.<\/p>\n

After the robbery, Mahanjana said, Masilela dragged Khaiyane’s girlfriend to the nearby bushes, where she was raped.<\/p>\n

According to Mahanjana, the men were arrested on 20 December 2013 at their homes.<\/p>\n

Masilela was slapped with an additional sentence of 43 years’ imprisonment for rape, possession of an unlawful firearm, and possession of ammunition.<\/p>\n
