Johannesburg – A childminder has been found guilty of murdering a Daveyton toddler in her care and defeating the ends of justice.
Judge Herman Broodryk found that Mannana Tsabane strangled Langelihle Mnguni to death in October last year.
The judge said Tsabane lied to the court about being attacked by home invaders.
While the motive for the murder of the child remains unknown, Tsabane has been sentenced in the Benoni Magistrates Court to 25 years in jail.
Tsabane will serve sentences concurrently.
