# The Johannesburg High Court has sentenced Sibusiso Zitha to 15 years’ imprisonment for the murder of celebrity baker Thembekile Letlape, known as the ‘Pastry Princess’. Judge Shanaaz Mia acknowledged mitigating factors, including Zitha being a parent to two minor children, his voluntary surrender to police, and his time spent in custody awaiting trial. While Letlape’s parents sought a maximum sentence, the court deemed 15 years appropriate under the circumstances.
