South Africa Latest News, South Africa Headlines

Phasha was convicted of murder after he shot a teenager while trying to shoot his ex-girlfriend in 2008, provincial police revealed yesterday.

Brig Motlafela Mojapelo confirmed that their preliminary investigation revealed that Phasha was convicted of murder but did not have details about how long he had been imprisoned or when he was released on parole. "The little information we managed to get is that he was jailed for murder and was released on parole. At the time he was trying to kill his ex-girlfriend and the bullet missed and hit a teenager. We are still busy with our investigations to get relevant information on the case," Mojapelo said."At the time of the incident, he was practising as a lawyer and he was immediately struck off the roll," Nkwane said.

In the days leading to when he brutally killed the children, Phasha took to social media and said he was taking the minors away and leaving behind their mother who will eventually die of illness. The Phasha children - Katlego, 9, Joyce, 7, Tshepo, 5, and Adel, 8 - were found dead at two separate locations in GaPhasha-Selatole near Burgersfort, in Limpopo.
