Court to sentence social media influencer Madadzhe for fraud, murder


The High Court in Thohoyandou, Limpopo, is expected to hand down sentence in the fraud case against a local social media influencer, Livhuwani Madadzhe on Monday.

Madadzhe allegedly faked his mother’s death. He is also accused of killing his partner Lindelani Nengovhela.

Nengovhela’s body was found in a water-filled disused pit toilet at the couple’s home at Mangondi village outside Thohoyandou.

The sentencing of Madadzhe was postponed last week  for finalisation.

He pleaded guilty on the two charges.

Madadzhe will appear before a new presiding officer, Judge Violet Semenya in his murder trial.

The case was previously presided over by Judge Thogomelani Tshidada before he recused himself five months ago.
