The former Johanneburg radio DJ was earlier found guilty of killing his girlfriend, Dolly Tshabalala, two years ago. 


The court heard how Tshabalala was left in Sebolai's Soweto home after being stabbed. She bled to death.


In mitigation of sentence, Sebolai's lawyers argued he was a first time offender and not a danger to society.


The state argued Sebolai has a violent track record and has displayed no genuine remorse.

Sebolai earlier testified he didn't think there was anything wrong with slapping a partner to bring her back in line.


Tshabalala's mother, Elizabeth Marawa, said she and her relatives believed Sebolai deserved life in prison.


"He must fall. He must go down, deep, deep, deep. He must fall," she said.
