A 'trusted gardener' was on Thursday sentenced to life behind bars for the 2014 rape and murder of Briton Christine Robinson at Rra-Ditau Lodge in Thabazimbi, Limpopo.

Sergison had expected a quick arrest as Imbayarwo, who had called himself Andrew Ndlovu at the time, was the only suspect. But she was forced to take matters into her own hands because the authorities said Imbayarwo had left SA immediately after the murder.

Sergison tracked him down via Facebook and set a honeytrap to catch him. After a failed attempt, she was finally able to track Imbayarwo years later. With the help of Ian Cameron of Action Society, Sergison was able to lead police to Imbayarwo in 2020. Sergison was unable to comment on the sentence on Thursday as she was in a London hospital. However, Cameron welcomed the sentence.

“We wouldn’t have expected anything less than two life sentences. He will be quite a bit older when he gets out of jail. The fact that he has been denied leave to appeal is fantastic because it makes the chances of him getting out before serving his entire sentence very small,” he said.MORE:

Before we celebrate, somebody should explain what 'life' means in South Africa's criminal justice system, most of the time its less than 10 years in prison.

I would rather stay in Zimbabwe and claim the free land from Bob Mugabe than be a gardener in South Africa

There's no such thing as a trusted gardener or domestic worker. There's just too many incidents of crime committed by domestic help. Employers must guard themselves at some level.
