'I intended to rape and kill UyineneMrwetyana' - Post Office murderer

Cape Town - “Nene’s murder started a movement in South Africa to end gender-based violence. We have no sympathy for this man. We believe he has done this before. We also believe that he only confessed because the police had such a good case against him and not because he suddenly became a good person.

The uncle heaped praise on the Saps and the prosecution team for the speed with which the trial was concluded. It took just under three months for the National Prosecuting Authority to finalise the murder and rape trial and the Director of Public Prosecutions in the Western Cape, Rodney de Kock, has committed his office to speedily solving such cases.

Botha was also given a five-year sentence for obstructing the administration of justice after he dumped Uyinene’s body in an open field in Lingelethu-West, Khayelitsha, and set the body alight in an attempt to hide evidence. Botha will not be eligible for parole until he has served at least 25 years.
