Man who killed another and ate his heart bags 18-yr jail term
A Zimbabwean national has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for killing his girlfriend and eating her heart.
A driver will spend one year in jail for abducting a girl for sex.
Chimboza killed his girlfriend’s other lover Mbuyiselo Manona on June 2014 in Cape Town’s Gugulethu township.
Judge Ashley Bins-Ward said that Chimboza had shown no remorse and refused to acknowledge his “unpredictable and uncontrollable rage”, the Rand Daily Mail reported.
He was found to have no mental illness after being placed under psychiatric evaluation.

Psychiatrist Tuviah Zabow told the court that Chimboza said the woman coerced him to kill Manona and that “she also demanded that he present her with the deceased’s heart”.
“His memory of the period of the offence was good but he declined to explain why he had sliced up the heart and was found eating it,” Zabow said.
