“This is probably my last chance to speak. Yesterday I went back to my cell and prayed to God for wisdom to do things right.
“It is me who has committed the crime. It is me and I am truly sorry.”
These were the words of Sibusiso Mahlangu, 34, who along with his wife Lerato Mahlangu, 33, from Soshanguve had been convicted of murder and fraud charges in November last year, after killing a man and pretending it was Sibusiso who had died to cash in on insurance money.
Soshanguve couple Sibusiso Mahlangu, 34, and Lerato Mahlangu, 33, were convicted in November last year following the death of Lerato’s ex-boyfriend Sibusiso Sithebe. They also share a child.
On the day of the incident, on 2 January 2022, the Mahlangu couple lured Sithebe to their home, where they murdered him and then burnt his body.
Days after the incident, Lerato submitted three insurance claims with Old Mutual, where she was employed as a sales consultant.
She used Sithebe’s body and pretended it was Sibusiso who had died and claimed more than R500 000 in insurance.
