Life sentence inhumane, degrading — prisoner

A SERVING life prisoner, Kisimusi Ndlovu, who has so far spent 21 years behind bars, has applied to the Supreme Court challenging his life sentence arguing the punishment contravened his constitutional rights and reduced him to “nothing but a number behind prison walls”.

Report by Feluna Nleya

Ndlovu was slapped with a life imprisonment term in 1991 at the Bulawayo High Court following his conviction over the attempted murder of Twin Ngwenya.
