Elvis Ramosebudi’s three year jail sentence will be entirely suspended, provided he doesn’t plot to assassinate anyone else.
Elvis Ramosebudi was given three years in prison, but these will be wholly suspended, meaning he won’t go to jail provided he refrains from attempting to assassinate anyone else during this time period. Ramosebudi was initially facing two counts of incitement to commit murder, however, Matshitse convicted him on charges of attempting to incite to commit conspiracy to murder.
However, the state found the accused was not guilt of the main counts of conspiracy to commit murder and incitement to commit murder, as the state had not proved these two charges beyond a reasonable doubt.Ramosebudi sent two letters in 2017, one to Anglo Platinum and one to businessman Ajay Gupta, asking for his assassination plots to be funded.
