The Ivory Park SAPS station commander, Brigadier David Mbongeni Ngcobo, has welcomed the 10-year prison sentence for an Ivory Park man who was convicted of the fatal stabbing of another man last year.
The Tembisa Magistrate’s Court sentenced 25-year-old Siphelele Christopher Gomba, of Ivory Park Extension 2, to 10 years imprisonment last month.

In the same vein I want to congratulate the investigative officer, Sergeant Queen Masutha, for a job well done in her investigations.”
