Man sentenced to 20 years for providing knife used in teen's murder

Timothy Mathonsi was sentenced to 20 years in prison after the High Court found him guilty of murder for handing a knife to a friend who fatally stabbed 18-year-old Simon Dube during a bar fight. The court ruled that Mathonsi was equally responsible for the killing despite not delivering the fatal wounds himself. This decision highlights legal accountability in cases involving shared responsibility for violent crimes.
