- A NOTE ON THE NUMBERS SOUTH AFRICAN OUTLETS REPORT THE 2024 EFFECTIVE SENTENCES DIFFERENTLY — one gives Ndlwana and Tshefu 40 years each, another 22 and 15 — because life terms, concurrent terms and robbery counts are being added up in different ways. The convictions and the life sentences are not in doubt.
