# ActionSA has welcomed the 23-year prison sentence handed down by the Mpumalanga High Court to a Mozambican woman who murdered her 11-year-old stepdaughter in March 2015. Thirty-seven-year-old Clara Masinga pleaded guilty to premeditated murder and admitted her motive for killing Jennifer Gumbi, whom she fed ice cream with rat poison, was to spite her biological mother. ActionSA’s Thoko Mashiane says there is an urgent need to protect children from such horrific crimes:
