An Umgababa man was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment on Wednesday, 9 May for killing his uncle.
It is alleged that on Tuesday, 9 August 2014, at about 7.30pm, Sbusiso Eugene Mkhize (27) was at his family home in the Umgababa area when his uncle Reginald Mduduzi Mkhize (48) came into his room to reprimand him for using drugs.
