Five men have been sentenced to life in jail for the murder of Rhythm City actress Dumisani Masilela.
In connection with the 2017 murder of Masilela, Bongani Masombuka, 34, Sfundo Nkosi, 30,
Khumbuzo Mukhuba, 27, Brian Makhubedu, 24, and Mashudu Malema, 31, appeared in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Wednesday.
Judge Mokhine Mosopa stated he couldn't think of a convincing cause to go beyond the mandatory minimum term for murder.
Mosopa ruled the five men guilty of murdering Masilela last week.
The court found that they had attempted to hijack Masilela when he was shot in the stomach and had hijacked another car on the same day. As they fled to North West where they continued with their hijacking journey.
Masilela managed to reach the hospital, where he performed an operation. However, he sadly passed away.
