Three Zimbabweans were on Tuesday sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a white farmer in Limpopo Province, South Africa.

South Africa’s High Court in Limpopo province, Polokwane, sentenced Ugenius Saga (31), Lloyd Mandumbu (30) and Tatenda Ngwenya (33) for murder and robbery which were committed in March 2020 at Bad Se Loop Farm in Waterberg.

The deceased, Alwyn Petrus Van Zyl, was sleeping with his wife when the accused attacked.
“The deceased was tied with a rope and several items were taken, amongst others, a dark-blue cooler bag marked R Van Zyl, a red high-output air pump, a silver Tasco binocular, a black and yellow bag containing ventilated touring tent,” a statement from the SA National Prosecuting Authority reads.
During the trial, the trio pleaded not guilty.
