South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority has welcomed the 20-year direct imprisonment sentence imposed on Pfunzo Ramaano by the Louis Trichardt Regional Court after his murder conviction.
The court heard that on 24 December 2025, 20-year-old Miyahabo Mohomi was at a party when 23-year-old Ramaano accused him of assaulting his younger brother. Mohomi denied the accusation, but Ramaano assaulted him.
When Mohomi tried to flee, Ramaano chased him, caught him and stabbed him in the chest. Mohomi was critically injured and bleeding. Ramaano later returned to the party carrying a knife and without his T-shirt, reportedly boasting that he “kills for blood”.
