Oupa Kalenga Sibisi (24) was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for murder on June 27 in the Benoni Regional Court.
Sibisi stabbed a man he was gambling with in Etwatwa, Daveyton, on March 4.
Etwatwa SAPS spokesperson Capt Ramothakhi Maqabe said the man was a friend of Sibisi and the two got into an argument while gambling.
“As they were arguing, Sibisi took a sharp object and stabbed his friend in the stomach,” said Maqabe.
