A man has begun serving time in prison for the murder of his pregnant girlfriend in northern KwaZulu-Natal.
Wonderboy Mazibuko was sentenced to 15 years in jail in the Nquthu Regional Court on Monday.
Mazibuko confessed to attacking Nonjabulo Labase with a bushknife in the Mondlo area in 2021.
She was eight months pregnant at the time and died at the scene.

The National Prosecution Authority’s KZN spokesperson Natasha Kara says he confessed to the crime.
"Mazibuko was charged with unplanned murder, for which the minimum sentence is 15 years imprisonment. In keeping with this, the court sentenced him accordingly. He was deemed unfit to possess a firearm.
"The National Prosecuting Authority welcomes the successful finalisation of this matter as curbing the scourge of gender-based violence and femicide remains a priority of the organisation."
