5 SA celebs who have accidentally killed someone Judith Sephuma, Tokollo Tshabalala, Manaka Ranaka, Jub Jub and Oscar Pistorius,
Judith Sephuma |
The unidentified lady was en route to the centre when the mischance happened in Mofolo, Soweto on 28 January 2013. It was then revealed that Sephuma took the lady to Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, where she died hours later.
Tokollo Tshabalala |
As indicated by News24, the Botswana government attempted to get South Africa to extradite him. At the point when the South African authorities got confirmations that Tshabalala would not be given a death sentence, Tshabalala consented to return.
The Botswana police blamed him for speeding, referring to the way that they attempted to stop him for overlooking a street sign in Mogoditshane town, outside Gaborone, in March 2001. They went ahead to include that they have to try and Tshabalala attempted to overwhelm car which brought about him slamming head-on into an approaching vehicle, killing the driver, businesswoman Maria Monyatsi..
He was later cleared of all charges.
Manaka Ranaka |
Three years back, while travelling out to Durban for a December end of the week away, Ranaka thumped down an 18-year-old lady who was crossing the N3 freeway by walking.
She went to the young ladies family home to apologise, expressing, "I apologised to the family and was excused. There's no ill will in that family. Those are people, and they understood it was an accident," in a meeting with Sunday Sun.
Jub Jub |
On March eighth, 2010, while affected by drugs, Molemo (Jub) Maarohanye and Themba Tshabalala crushed their mini coopers into a group of students in Protea North, Soweto. Four were executed, and two were seriously injured.
He and his co-accused were at first sentenced to 20 years for murder and 4 years for an attempted kill.
They at that point stopped interest in 2014 and figured out how to convince the court that they weren't responsible for their faculties due to drug and alcohol use. That brought about their sentences being converted to culpable homicide. Jub has since been discharged.
Oscar Pistorius |
He claimed he had mixed up Steenkamp for an intruder covering up in the bathroom after she had woken up to go utilise the restroom and he had not heard her get up. He was arrested and charged with murder.
At his 2014 preliminary, Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide where he got a five-year jail sentence for criminal murder and a concurrent three-year suspended jail sentence for a different neglectful peril conviction.
