The 26-year-old Radebe killed his 20-year-old girlfriend, Thandeka Tshabalala, in 2021.
A provincial spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority, Lumka Mahanjana, says the NPA is satisfied with the sentence handed down to Radebe.
"Radebe strangled Thandeka to death. Thereafter, he called the police, and when they arrived, he told them that the deceased had committed suicide, and he found her body tied with a cord around her neck.
"After the pathologist examined the body of the deceased, it was discovered that the deceased had been strangled.
"Radebe was then arrested on 1 December 2021 at his place of residence.”
