On Thursday, an Eastern Cape police constable received a sentence of 10 years in prison for the murder of his girlfriend.
The Butterworth Circuit Court also mentioned that Detective Makazukiswe Sigonya is unfit to have a firearm in his possession.
In September, the official was convicted.
In July 2016, he assaulted the woman before rushing her to a hospital, where she later succumbed to death.
“Ipid welcomes this sentence and remains very committed to ensuring that law enforcement officials who break the law face the full might of the law, especially when it comes to gender-based violence and femicide,” said Ndileka Cola, the spokesperson for Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid).
