A 42 year old Vuyisile Elias Mpinda was found guilty for murder of his 34 year old blind girlfriend. On 22 October 2017 Mpinda beat his girlfriend to death after they had an argument. The incident was only reported to the police a day later.
On 18 September 2018 the De Aar Regional Court sentenced Mpinda to 15 years imprisonment for murder.
The Provincial Commissioner of Northern Cape, Lieutenant General Risimati Peter Shivuri has applauded the meticulous and professional work which led to the lengthy prison term.
He indicated that the sentence will serve as a deterrent to other perpetrators who do not regard a life a human being.
