A SOUTH African court has handed down life sentences to the two men who machine-gunned United Democratic Movement (UDM) secretary general Sifiso Nkabinde in January last year outside the KwaZulu-Natal town of Richmond during a wave of political violence. Lincoln Mbikwane and Sandile Dlamini were sentenced for what the court said was clearly a political killing. ANC local councillor Joel Mkhize and Richmond mayoral bodyguard Siphiwe Shabane got 25 years each for complicity. – AFP
