A Northern Cape man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for stabbing a well-known 'tannie' to death while she was waiting in a bank queue.

Tebogo Avis Augustino Masire received an additional 15 years for aggravated robbery and two years for assault.

“You grew up with your granny and aunt in Douglas where you completed your matric. Your mom lives in Pampierstad and you know the impoverished circumstances she lives under. After school you went to work at the OK Grocers in Douglas where you worked with Tannie Helen. She left soon after and started working at the Spar. It wasn’t long afterwards when you joined her at the Spar,” Williams said.

“Early on the Monday morning, you were to implement your plan. But because of high police visibility on the day, you shelved your plans. “You then stabbed her and she screamed. You then stabbed her again. Siphamandla Mkhize tried to stop you, but you stabbed him and he ran away.” Williams said that Masire used the escape route through the fence, took R50 of the money he had stolen and hid the rest.

“This is a particularly despicable crime. The deceased was well-known to you and was only ever good to you. She was an elderly woman of 60 with a sickly husband and children and grandchildren.
