Cape Town man gets life sentence for killing cop

A 27-year-old man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a police officer in Nyanga, four years ago.

Siyoko died on arrival at the hospital.

“The Western provincial head of the Hawks, Major General Makgato has welcomed the sentencing of Aviwe Ndwanyana (27) to life imprisonment for the murder of a police officer.
