Mom to be sentenced for killing her four children

Zinhle Maditla, the mother who pleaded guilty to four counts of premeditated murder, will be sentenced on Tuesday in the Witbank Magistrate’s Court.

Maditla admitted to feeding her four children rat poison after she discovered their father was seeing another woman. The decomposing bodies of the children were found in December last year.

On 9 September, Maditla’s lawyer read out her plea statement saying she consumed some of the poison to try to kill herself.
