Sindisiwe Manqele sentenced to 12 years imprisonment for killing Flabba
Sindisiwe Manqele has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for the murder of her boyfriend, rapper Nkululeko “Flabba” Habedi.
The 27 year-old Manqele was sentenced in the High Court sitting in Palm Ridge on Thursday after she stabbed Habedi a year ago.
She had pleaded not guilty and claimed she acted in self-defence.
“It is now my unpleasant task to sentence you … you are sentenced for a period of 12 years, you will not be granted parole until you serve eight years of the sentence. It is recommended to the department of correctional services that the programmes which are available to incarcerated persons, be provided,” acting Judge Solly Sithole said.
